Mind-Controlled Technology Could Make Homes Smarter From: IEEE The Institute - 10/06/2014 By: Monica Rozenfeld Sensor-embedded clothing could turn things on and off Mind-controlled technology may help people accomplish these simple tasks by wearing, say, a sleep mask or pajamas embedded with sensors. The technology involves a system of sensors like those used for picking up a person’s brain waves when taking electroencephalograms (EEGs), or a recording of electrical activity along the scalp. Recently, EEG sensors have been commercialized for gaming whereby a player can control what’s on the screen with the help of a sensor-mounted headset. Such sensors on the head are also being used to help patients with prosthetics control the movement of their artificial limbs.
