original description

clipped from www.telegraph.co.uk From the Hollywood film Firefox to the television show Heroes, science fiction writers have always dreamt of the day when humans could control machines with the power of thought alone. Now British scientists are turning the vision into reality with a device that allows objects to be manipulated with brain waves. The prototype, developed at Essex University, can already be used to play simple computer games. By imagining a movement, the wearer of the hat-shaped device can tell the computer to move an object around a screen or a robot around a room. The researchers hope their technology will eventually allow people to move wheelchairs and drive cars with their thoughts.
