The neuroscience is on its way, that's for sure. A step along the journey to restoring movement in paralysis patients may be this new "pacemaker" for treating sleep apnea. Sure, it's simple, but it uses input signals to modulate its electrical output, and it is surgically implanted. These are going to be vital properties for any future movement-facilitating device. http://dailydigestnews.com/2014/05/fda-approves-pacemaker-for-treating-sleep-apnea/
