Smartphone Controlled by Your Brain .

VIOS, a subsidiary of Mind Solutions, Inc., has received the first tranche of funding needed to complete the company's new mind-reading headset. This presumably would be an evolution of the Emotiv headset. The device, which functions similarly to the NeuroSky Mindwave Mobile, would be the "smallest, most practical and user friendly EEG device on the market," according to CEO Kerry Driscoll.
 

In testing, the device has successfully allowed users to use their mind to interact with Android devices, including popular Android smartphones and tablets. Generally, these devices use a contact point on the forehead, as well as a clip on the ear, to sense the presence of different brainwaves and calculate concentration and relaxation levels. Developers can then build software to respond to these different levels, allowing a user's brainwaves to influence applications.
