Lots of interesting new developments in the realm of brain powered computers.

“We’ve developed a simple sensor that sits on your forehead and reads your brainwaves,” InteraXon CEO Ariel Garten told FoxNews.com. “It’s just like a heart monitor that can read your heart rate. And the software translates your brainwave data and uses it to control your virtual world.”

“This is just the beginning of an enormous industry to understand brain activity, to use it, and to have intelligent responses to brain-activating activities,” Carlen told FoxNews.com. “Ultimately, we’ll have an intelligent response simulation that can modulate to what you are thinking. These are just the early days, but this is going to be a multi-billion dollar industry.”

Garten agrees, predicting that thought-controlled computing will be pervasive in all aspects of life.

“In the short term, we’re going to see these kinds of systems integrated in home devices like cell phones and televisions. But in the long term, it’s going to be the way we control the world on a regular basis.”

One thought arises: Will people with highly developed cranial abilities, such as myself, be better able to use these technologies, and thus lord over our more feebleminded fellow citizens? Will society split into two distinct components — great brains and dimwits?

There may be downsides to the technology as well.
