I moved a car with my mind today. Seriously. OK, not really- I was playing a video game with NeuroSky's bio censor and signalling processing system, which monitors brainwaves and gives feedback on emotional states. Basically, I put on headphones equipped with a censor, and then thought calming thoughts to lift a car on a screen in front of me. And it worked!
Obviously, this technology can be applied to gaming, but it has other wireless application potential as well. I spoke with the company's CEO- Stanley Yang, who explained that aside from mobile phone applications which can help people meditate and develop concentration skills, the technology can also be used in mp3 players to develop playlists based on a user's mood. It also has health applications- it can be used in Bluetooth headsets for drivers to monitor when they are getting drowsy, and can also be used to detect potential heart attacks. Here are some photos of me using me telekinetic powers:
