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.'"

  1. This will be horrible. by reverendbeer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If this technology becomes commercially viable, it will result in hundreds of thousands of divorces because if the husband has control of the TV, it will either automatically go to A. girl-on-girl porn, B. male/female porn, or C. Male-on-male porn. Of course, such observations by the partner could lead to possible IRL A, B, or C; as such, this technology must be pursued to the fullest. ((As options D and E, the gangbang and trannies, could arguably fall under any of the other categories, they are therefore not listed as choices. ))
