Brainwave Model of Remote Control

No one was in that room except a 'patient' lying on the bed with his eyes closed. One second, the tv was off. The next, it was turned on. But no movement was observed.

It was nothing supernatural. Hidenori Onishi, whose Technos Japan Co. jointly developed this ingenious device with the Himeji Institute of Technology, is using the device to sense brain-wave patterns and converts them into signals that are used to operate electrical appliances!

The device that is called Mind Control Tool Operating System, or MCTOS, includes a pair of goggles which holds electrodes to the head and it responds to a single type of brain impulse, the beta wave, which is produced in mental excitement states.

MCTOS is relatively easy to use compared to other similar devices and it is a mean of new life to paralysed patients once the accuracy and convenience are improved.
