Could pilots fly aircarft using their minds?
From: ECN - 02/27/2015

The BRAINFLIGHT project has an ambitious goal - complete control over
aircraft (or a significantly reduced workload) using nothing but your mind.
The team from Tekever and a collection of European researchers from
Champalimaud Foundation (Portugal), Eagle Science (Netherlands), and
Technische Universitat Munchen (Germany) recently demonstrated their
brain-computer interface (BCI) on a simulator for the Diamond DA42, a
four-seat, twin-engine, propeller-driven aircraft, and the results could lead
to a sea change in aviation.

And since the system alleviates manual control, BRAINFLIGHT could encompass
nearly any mode of transportation — automobiles, for example. Auto-parking
systems would seem trivial next to vehicles you could safely operate using
nothing but your mind. It would revolutionize how we treat the physically
handicapped (or exceedingly lazy).
