OK, we got a long way to go to using it on model applications, but this is interesting. The toy train folks have somthing here.
Brain activity controls toy train

"The 'brain-machine interface' developed by Hitachi Inc. analyzes slight changes in the brain's blood flow and translates brain motion into electric signals. A cap connects by optical fibers to a mapping device, which links, in turn, to a toy train set via a control computer and motor during one recent demonstration at Hitachi's Advanced Research Laboratory in Hatoyama, just outside Tokyo."Something tells me if I have one of these attached to my head when I see the price of a brass model, the train would jump the tracks!
(Not to mention if a pretty girl walks by... since the device measures blood flow.)

"I started out with nothing and I still have most of it."Still... outside of using it to move toy trains... this technology is a promising future if it can be refined.
