telekinesis machine invented

Forget the TV remote: A new technology in Japan could let you control electronic devices without lifting a finger simply by reading brain activity.

The "brain-machine interface" developed by Hitachi Inc. analyzes slight changes in the brain's blood flow and translates brain motion into electric signals.

A cap connects by optical fibers to a mapping device, which links, in turn, to a toy train set via a control computer and motor during one recent demonstration at Hitachi's Advanced Research Laboratory in Hatoyama, just outside Tokyo.

"Take a deep breath and relax," said Kei Utsugi, a researcher.

At his prompting, I did simple calculations in my head, and the train sprang forward _ apparently indicating activity in the brain's frontal cortex, which handles problem solving.

We live in an electric universe.
