Change The TV Channel With Your Mind
The BBC is developing the technology.
The kit sees users strap a headset on and use particular thoughts to turn on iPlayer and start watching a programme. It is only experimental technology at the moment — built to give “an idea of how this technology might be used in the future” — but it worked for everyone that has used it in testing, the BBC said.
The prototype works by reading brainwaves using a sensor that rests on the forehead, and another that attaches to the ear using a clip. Those sensors can then track the electricity as it moves around the brain — watching for concentration, and filling up a bar of brainwaves when they concentrate hard enough to trigger a change on screen.

We have become too lazy to even use a remote? Seems kind of sick to me, I wish people would use their smarts to develop something we actually need.

Now If I could just think the brightness of the programming up…

sheeeit, the future is something to avoid – wake up in the am afterasleep induced by waves into the head by a band of whatever, replug in to your day to day guidance system and stagger along under the fine direction of the electronic brain wave buzzermajig. I feel so so very sorry for kids, grandkids and greatgrandkids.
