Mind control: Australian-made bionic spine moves robotic limbs using your thoughts

The video discusses a device that allows paralyzed patients to move using thought. The stent electrode, inserted into the jugular vein, expands in a brain vessel to record motor cortex activity. This activity is translated into commands sent wirelessly to an exoskeleton or wheelchair. Tested on a sheep for 190 days, human trials are planned for next year.

What role does the transmitter play in the system described?

What are the next steps in the research after testing the stent on a sheep?
