Arduino Assisted Mind-Controlled Television

andylim writes "Dcept905, aka Paul, has interfaced an EEG headset and an Arduino with an IR LED to control his television set with thought alone. 'I have finally gotten around to re-writing some of my old code and re-recording a proper demo of controlling physical objects using thoughts by interfacing an EEG headset with an Arduino. While this technology is interesting and exciting, before anyone sees this as an endorsement for this particular EEG headset, I strongly recommend reading my full review of the device.'"

    Hey! Why would you ever turn on TV, change channels and volume?
    The TV mind-controls you to control it. Give you the illusion of you are controlling it and everything, but we all know it's a trap!!
