Mind Control Made Simple

Control your devices with thought alone. Mark Frauenfelder reports in 'The Feature' that a Silicon Valley company is developing a technology that uses electrical signals produced by the brain and eye movement to control electronic devices.

"But how can you actually control a device using your brain? Part of the answer lies in biofeedback -- training yourself to change the frequency of your brainwaves. For decades, people have been controlling their brainwaves using biofeedback monitors. By attaching electrodes to your scalp and looking at a realtime display of your brain activity (an EEG), you can learn to change the frequency at will.

The other part of the answer is EOG (Electro-oculogram), or eye movement. While this isn't really using your mind to control the device, it is a fairly automatic way to generate a small electrical signal that NeuroSky's system can measure. The company says it has acquired proprietary algorithms originally developed in Russia that can covert and combine EEG and EOG signals into direction control -- useful for navigating a heads-up communication display in a car perhaps, or for training cross-hairs on a cartoon alien in a video game."

Awesome! And imagine if you could do it over the internet. Woo! Use mind control to write email at work while lying at home in bed.
