Not a sober thought

If you had the power of telekinesis, what would you use it for first? If you’re a regular reader of this blog, there’s a safe bet you answered, “Make a drink with my mind.” One company is working to make that dream come true.

Interaxon in Canada is researching the use of a headband that can read the wearer’s brainwaves and give them real-time data on how well they are focusing. They say that it could one day lead to devices that allow you to flick a light switch, or control a beer tap, with nothing but your thoughts. Our guess is that after a couple mind-beers, you get less effective with your control.

You’re thinking about a beer right now, aren’t you?
