The idea of moving objects with the power of the mind has fascinated mankind for millennia. Now, though, non-invasive brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), where electrodes sit on the scalp instead of burrowing through it, are finally becoming a realistic alternative to the complicated surgical procedure that implants necessitate. Last year an Austrian company called Guger Technologies released a system that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to allow paralysed patients to type. A team at the University of Zaragoza, in Spain, led by Javier Minguez, has developed some promising prototypes using similar principles. Meanwhile, a British company called Myndplay is creating short interactive films in which viewers step into the shoes of the protagonists and influence the plot by focusing or relaxing. There are some decidedly frivolous applications for EEG technology, too, such as a pair of cat ears on a hairband that stand up when the wearer is concentrating and lie down when he or she is relaxed.
