During the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the Boston-based start-up company BrainCo unveiled the so-called "mind control" headband.
Developed by scientists from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the device claims to be able to translate brainwaves into electric signals.
In a report on Newsmax, BrainCo representative Zenchuan Lei said the "mind control" headband's technology can be tapped for several uses, including helping people with disabilities who use prosthetic hands.
This means that the device has the potential to make life easier for those with paralysis and missing limbs.
"These signals can be used to control objects like a prosthetic hand," Lei told NewsMax. "You can turn the lights on or off just by focusing on that."
This promising new device employs what its developers call "neuro feedback," which allows users to control their brainwaves for purposes—effectively similar to hacking the brain.
