In the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona recently, the Institute of Electrial and Eletronics Engineers (IEEE) demonstrate how we can play remote control car through mind control device, without touching the object at all.


Companies that cooperate with the Australian-based Emotiv is developing technology that will be very popular, especially you the true gamers. Just imagine, now you can play the game without touching the screen, or other physical objects, but only with a headset that can control your mind.

With A Driver name, this technology consists of a headset electroencephalography (EEG) Emotiv and devices that are trained to be able to read a pattern of thought in our brain in a unique way. Well, how does it work?

So, after you use the advanced headset, you have to concentrate in a state of neutral state. That is, clean the minds of other things besides games and play, for example, a car racing game. Then you will be asked to think about it over and over again what you have to do to play the game.

In the push phase state, the wheels of cars on display will start to move as a sign that your brain thought patterns have been connected with the game. Furthermore, you just think just what steps are you going to do, such as speeding, turn left, brakes, and so on.

Emotiv headset embedded with sensors will record the electrical activity of the head, forehead, and over our ears. Sensors measure and monitor brain waves, then these patterns is converted into a command by using brain-computer interfaces. Well, after a long time this technology can make you as Professor Xavier in X-Men movie, right? He-he.
