Thought Control Quadrotor

Since the discovery of brainwave by Hans Berger, neurologist from Germany, more advance applications are made to utilize the brain function, which includes using brain to give instructions to physical object. The video below shows several experiments done by researchers at Zhejiang University, China regarding thought control. 


If the explanation isn't clear, here's a sort of what the lady said in the beginning:

"Flying Buddy2 is developed to ease the life of a disable person. It consists of electroencephalography headset, AR Drone and a computer. The computer can receive the EEG signals via bluetooth and convert them to specific (unclear, morse?) to control AR drone through wifi computer program"

Well, that's what i heard. Nevertheless, the system is utilizing the brain wave with the main purpose being for the betterment of the disable. The possibility exists that the same system can be used by normal people and when the difference between men is narrowed down to only their thought pattern, one can assume that a training to enhance thought pattern to develop stronger brainwave signal is of importance. 

And since the human brain is not yet fully understood, imagine how thought pattern of a single person can affect the physical world. The Fringe series, has an episode regarding this. 


While it's interesting to see how neuroscience provides an insight to new technology, one can see the importance of putting a limit to the advancement of technology so that no unwanted catastrophe being cast upon mankind because of their 7 deadly sins.
