The ability to control physical objects with the power of thought – telekinesis – has been the stuff of fantasy, until now.
Tan Le's astonishing new computer interface reads its user's brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration).
Join us to see a demonstration of this remarkable technology, and hear about the science that has made it possible.
