If you think that the idea of switching on the lights of your home or workplace by having a thought is nothing but an idea straight from a Hollywood movie or plot of some science fiction, you need to think again.
A system known as thought-control computing has been developed by a Toronto-based company and is expected to help people control the light in our homes and for controlling the household products.
From in.news.yahoo.com:
A Canadian Press reporter who visited InterAxon’s office to test the technology confirmed that it works, but that its uses seemed to be quite limited at this point.
Garten predicted the headset will ultimately become as small as a wireless bluetooth device and the technology will be available within two years. Garten said aircraft giants Bombardier and Boeing were recently shown a thought-controlled in-flight entertainment system and “the initial meetings we had were greeted with great enthusiasm.”
But apart from controlling lights and other devices, the 30-year-old psychotherapist said the process could also be used in to treat children with Attention Deficit Disorder. “There’s a lot of research that shows 10 to 12 one-hour sessions using this system are as effective as Ritalin,” she said.
Garten said it could also help monitor a person’s mental state. “Just like we do heart-monitoring now, for example, brain-monitoring allows you to measures the health and distress of a patient,” she said.
Ariel Garten of InteraXon said that the “control signal” functionality could be used to program anything from lighting to music and many more things after an individual has learned the art of controlling the alpha and beta waves.
