The ultimate IoT application: A cyber-physical system for ambient assisted living

We propose a novel approach that integrates wireless, non-invasive devices with fast, real-time algorithms for large data analysis and biofeedback reaction, to discern the voluntariness of human movement through direct sensing of brain potentials combined with muscular action signal monitoring. The system has been tested in real situations.
