And you thought having a touch screen was cool. ThinkContacts is a new smart phone app under development that uses your brainwaves to choose between callers and dial them up. The system uses a NeuroSky headset – basically a crude EEG sensor – to pick up on electrical signals from your cortex. The signals are then sent from the headset to your phone via Bluetooth, where they control the phone depending on your state of mind.

In other words, you can use a cell phone...with your MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND!

Silly for most of us, but for people with various disabilities, this could give them more independence and such and such.

Neat.

Knowing me, I'd still misdial!

I wonder how long before there are issues where the phone calls your ex because your thought of her #?

This thought puts a new perspective on the hazards of drunk dialing.

It's awesome. Just awesome. But never mind the drunk dialing - think about the poor letters editors at newspapers everytime someone reads P&CE and other boards like it.
