 Electroencephalogram (EGG) to measure brain waves  Detect and use conscious control of electrical signals  Interpret brain waves into a control system Adapted from

 Produce a three plus dimensional controller for widespread application  RC car  Mechanical arm  Hands free light for medical uses Adapted from

 One dimensional  Controls a fan that controls the height of a ball  Requires training time  Priced at about $100  Reversed engineered to see how they work

 Interprets beta waves  Uses one electrode on the forehead and two references behind the ears  Uses an algorithm to control the fan  Interprets fluctuations in brain waves  Uses two electrodes on the forehead and two references on the ears Adapted from Adapted from
