Brain-controlled Helicopter Takes Mental Concentration To New Heights by ibnquasale(m): 12:17am On Nov 26, 2012 |
(CNN) -- A toy helicopter controlled by nothing but brainwaves could be available to the public just in time to hover under this year's Christmas tree. Currently touted on crowd-funding website Kickstarter -- where it has already exceeded its pledge goal twice over -- the Orbit comes equipped with an electroencephalography (EEG) headset, capable of reading electrical activity along the scalp. "As you focus your mind on something -- whether it be a math equation or the lyrics of a song -- your brain produces electric signals," explains Steve Cattelotti, CEO and co-founder of Puzzlebox, the San Francisco-based company behind the project. "The headset monitors those signals and converts them into flight commands," he says. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/23/tech/orbit-brain-controlled-helicopter/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 |
