Scientists in Singapore are helping stroke victims regain control of their limbs through brain power and robotic arms.

The patient wears a cap fitted with electrodes and when they think about moving their limbs, this information is transmitted through a computer, which then moves a robotic arm.

Brain Computer Interface is still a fairly experimental mode of treatment, but the second phase of trials will be completed in mid-2012.
