Mind control

Imagine that you could operate machinery, turn on lights, close the curtains, change the TV channel or adjust the volume, just by thinking about it.

Wouldn't that be fun, crazy, spooky?

Well, maybe it's time to work out what your reaction would be to having such control because it's not far away from becoming a reality.

Mind control with the Emotiv headset

There are some very clever people out there who understand a lot about interpreting the electrical impulses produced by your brain.  Using some very complex algorithms they also learned how to apply this, despite the fact that everyone brain is different.   Your brain is folded into a unique pattern.  This was a major challenge to solving how to callibrate a machine that could detect electrical impulses effectively regardless of your cerebral layout.

Watch this amazing TED demonstration, hosted by entrepreneur Tan Le demonstrating an amazing and surprisingly cheap headset from Emotiv.

TED is an excellent technology resource

It's great to see such an eloquent and straightforward speaker
explaining something that is certainly beyond my comprehension.
