Brain Power.....

This is what i think of as weird looking technology, i mean people say this is the future but i wouldn't put one of these on my head for fear of a mad scientist coming and removing all my memory. The idea that you mind can control a computer's working process is cool but it just looks to space age, when the technology is made smaller in size or at least looks slighly less invasive it could be a good idea but then asks the question of what happens if someone hacks into your thoughts????.

"What progress is being made in the search for new ways of interacting with computer systems? Moving beyond the keyboard and mouse towards more natural ways of interacting with computers is a long-standing research vision. One possible approach is to use thoughts; just think of something, like moving the ever present pointer on a computer screen to a new location, and it happens! This is exactly what is demonstrated by the PRESENCIA project. This is an opportunity to experience firsthand, human-computer interaction using a brain-computer interface. Based on a normal pocketsize battery powered computer, with electrodes fitted to the scalp, visitors can learn more about how the interface works and discover the new possibilities enabled by this technology."
