telekinesis for real


Ever wanted to move things...with your mind? Soon you can: Hitachi has devised a "brain-machine interface" that measures small changes in blood flow in various parts of the brain. These changes can be translated into electric signals, such as ones that cause your TV to turn on or off, or that cause an electric train to start or stop.

Widespread applicability? I'm skeptical - but it's pretty damn cool in any case.

Wouldn't it be very applicable for quadriplegic people.
