Actually I had written in one of my previous posts about controlling devices using mental power. Brainloop mental machine was a good example of this technology.
I think you already know about Honda corporation’s famous robot Asimo. Now, their hardworking engineers developed a system to control Asimo using sensors which measure the electrical activity on the brain and the blood flow. Namely, EEG and NIRS. All you need to wear this helmet and think about the several parts of the robot including left-hand, right hand, feet or tongue. Asimo robot will move the part accordingly. It is known that Honda is already investing on brain controlled applications for more than four years.
Such products are still in the early stages and we should wait for an unknown time to see the robot armies clashing each other. (which surely will be operated remotely by evil mind forces)

Now that’s a technology worth thinking about. This has so many future applications that it’s ridiculous. If this ever becomes mainstream we’ll be seeing more than just couch potatoes. Nevertheless this is very interesting technology that can benefit humans immensely.
