A simplier monitoring device, for skin resistance or something, would work much better. These so-called scientist / researchers are just spining their wheels with the kind of research. It's been speculated on as far back as 1983 in the movie "Brainstorm". The real problem with it is that no one can concentrate on two things at once. So this technology will never work for driving the family car, if you also want to use the Cell Phone. What they should work on is more A.I. technology to replace faulty human operation. Then you won't have to be sober to operate your car (telekinetically or by steering wheel). Just able to tell it where you want to go. Until we all become Vulcans, where never going to have the mental discipline to operate anything dangerous, by such a device. For toys, and simple computer systems, Ok. At least the handicap will be better able to surf the web, in the future. This is surely overkill for controlling some toy!

It's part of a Japanese conspiracy to turn Americans into fat slobs. “Hitachi’s scientists are set to develop a brain TV remote controller letting users turn a TV on and off or switch channels by only thinking.”

It could also have joints that can ADD resistance to help build Mussle tone and conditioning. (God I wish my fingers had brains to hit the right keys) Im wondering if Memory Metal could do this, or if we would need a piston type setup... Walking to the store could power your Cellphone and give you a reason to GO OUT and WALK. Walking the Mall could power your laptop for an hour. Hiking in the Wild could set you up for the Whole night, in camp. I would LOVe to see a suit, that generates Power as we move.
