An exoskeleton that can be controlled from brain activity will be demonstrated at the opening ceremony of the world cup in Brazil on June 12th.

The exoskeleton was developed by an international team of scientists as part of the Walk Again Project and is the culmination of more than a decade of work for Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, a Brazilian neuroscientist based at Duke University in North Carolina.

    You score a good point, but no... I'm just curious what new ways of simulating injuries inside the penalty area would the players be able to come with.
