You can stop worrying about whether you have left the gas switched on – new
technology will allow you to "think" it off.
The technology, demonstrated at Germany's giant Cebit show in Hanover,
interprets and responds to neural activity. So you can generate different
signals by thinking in different ways.
The signals can then be used to control anything in your house, according to
Austrain developers G-Tec.
The system will allow you to switch on the TV, play music, open doors and
windows, operate a camera – anything that can be operated electrically. Gtec
says it will be especially help to for paralyzed people trying to live
independently.
It can also be used to control a Pocket PC and even to spell out words. But
it does require a bizarre helmet containing a number of electrodes – rather less
elegant than the thought-control gaming headset from
Emotiv.
