Think Positive

In the future, you will be able to control the cursor on your screen using not your mouse, and not gestures, but your thoughts! Your brain waves have already been translated into images and even motion in other contexts: sensors placed on the brain can pick up electric fields and be used to navigate wheelchairs and manipulate toys. However, this time around "electrocorticography" is being used to control cursors, according to a paper published in the Journal of Neuroengineering.

This will help disabled people to use computers and in the future it might even allow us to play games and do our work using our thoughts alone. Now, as they say, "think positive"!
