Have you ever dreamt about controlling your mobile applications with your mind? Well, you can stop dreaming, NeuroSky has brought it to real life.
NeuroSky has demonstrated its last brain-controlled applications at the CTIA 2008. These applications need the NeuroSky headset, which has some sensors to find out the state of your mind. This headset reads the alpha and beta waves from the brain and send them wirelessly to the mobile phone.

Then, the mobile phone application precesses the information received about brain’s waves. This information is useful to measure the degree of the brain’s relaxation, tension and concentration. So the applications will be based on the degree of concentration you have. Don’t think you can make decisions with your mind and transmit them to the applications, not so far at least… It’s more like the application is programmed to do something and it will only work if you are well concentrated on it.
As an example, I can talk about a simple game NeuroSky has developed. It’s about a bug that has to run throw a line or a bigger bug will eat it. In this case, the more the gamer concentrates on it, faster will run the bug. But the gamer can NOT decide to turn, the bug will turn automatically. You can see other game example in the official website, following this link, but this time the game is for computers.

I think this is incredible and it will be used in the future for sure, but I have to say that I was waiting for transmitting my decisions (like in some movies…) and not only transmitting my grade of concentration.
