This looks like Gregoire Courtine's lab's work in Switzerland. His lab is planning clinical trials in mid 2016. He is the protege of Reggie Edgerton, whose lab did all the epidural simulation on the 4 patients. I am also looking forward to this as it is the upgraded version of the epidural simulation.
