Honda Research Institute Japan Co. Ltd, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International and Shimadzu Corporation have worked together to develop the World’s first Brain Machine Interface. Using this technology, you can control your robot with the help of your thoughts. It does not even require any physical movements such as pressing buttons. The newly developed measuring device uses EEG and NIRS sensors and it can be transported to and used in various locations. Video after the jump.

I want one of these. Does it come in black ?
BTW, I absolutely love the new look of TechFresh , it’s brilliant!
Thanks mate, and if you want the machine in black you can do your own spray paint job!
I think the first viable (non-military) application for this would be prosthetics. The value in that configuration would be extreme, allowing for profit margin even before costs decrease significantly. The helmet still seems intrusive, but not prohibitively so. Performance and size would need to shrink.
