Slashdot points to a fascinating article about efforts to create a wheelchair that can be controlled by brain impulses. I’ve had daydreams about such a device. I use an electric wheelchair but I rely on my nurses to maneuver me because I’ve never found a control system that reliably works for me. If they can perfect this technology, I’ll be one of the first people in line for my very own Professor X chair. But I also have a question: if I’m rolling down the street and focus my attention on an attractive woman, will the chair start following her? Have the designers contemplated such hazards?

  1. This is a fascinating subject.
    Have ou read Philip Pulmans trilogy “His Dark Materials”? In the last book there is a mind controlled flying thing the “intention craft”, a similar idea but fictional of course…

  2. Chair that follow hot babes??? Sign up now… but of course you would need a special chip that would follow only NOW gang chicks… and we all know, they are soooooo….umm….well….never mind.
