But there are a very few who’ve used it beyond what the maker’s say it would do. Now, here’s a hack master who’s had the better of the Emotive EEG headset, using this and the power of his brain, he is able to demonstrate what he claims is “the first mind controlled television set.” Using the EEG headset, which measures electrical signals in the head and transmits it wirelessly to the laptop hocked up to the Aurdino and an Infrared LED, he is able to turn on a TV set with is thoughts alone. Exciting video available after the break, read here for the detailed project.
