Control iPhone and iPad with your brain

iphone-cerebro Would you like to play iPhone video games using only your brain? The Californian company PLX has made it possible with XWave , a revolutionary device equipped with a kind of helmet that collects the electrical signals transmitted by the human brain through the skull (electroencephalographic signals) and converts them into digital signals with which it is possible to handle applications on the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad without lifting a finger, just with thought.

The new gadget is synchronized with the mobile thanks to an application designed by the company that can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. In addition to managing video games, it will have software that detects the degree of attention we pay at all times. And it even has applications that allow us to train our brain by levitating a “ball” or changing the color of the screen depending on the level of relaxation reached by our thinking organ.

XWave can now be purchased in the United States at a price of $ 100, although the first copies will not ship until November 1.
