Thought-Controlled Apps On Android May Not Be Far

Posted by timothy on from the add-gps-and-stir dept.

Julie188 writes "A small PC device company wants to bring thought-controlled apps to the Android market. Mind Technologies (once known by the cute name of Jedi Mind) has promised to make it so. Mind Technologies makes PC devices (a game controller and mouse) that work with the strange-but-true Emotiv headset. Emotiv uses brain waves to operate machines. Although it sounds far fetched, electroencephalogram (EEG) controllers do work, but the products on the market so far are not as easy to use, let alone master, as their makers claim."

      Yeah, you laugh, but they can do it without any special hardware. Millions were convinced that copy and paste and multi-tasking were a bad idea.
