Mind-Controlled Wheelchair Invented By Toyota (VIDEO)

Fox News had a fascinating interview with Michio Kaku, author of "Physics of the Impossible," in which they discussed Toyota's creation of a mind-controlled wheelchair. The wheelchair works by using "brain-movement sensors that learn the characteristics of what you're thinking."

Kaku explained that the brain always emits radio waves that, with newly advanced computers, can be read and analyzed for patterns to know what you're thinking. This can then be used to energize machines, like a wheelchair, and, as Kaku says, "That's just the beginning."

It's a fascinating interview. Watch a clip below.

Absolutely brilliantly amazing.

It would be entertaining to put some of the mindless Fox News views at the controls of that chair.

[pjgm]

viewers - not views. Need more coffee as my keyboard is not yet the mind controlled version.

I could care less for Fox News, but Prof. Kaku rocks.

[DressEyebrows]

I'm guessing you mean that you *couldn't* care less?

[Bitsko]

Now how did I know someone would mention that? Thanks!

[NoSillyName]

Wonderful news!!

The world needs more positive scientific breakthroughs

[purplejesus]

how bout a mind controlled 'hummer'

[Liberal2]

Heh....that's already been forecasted. It will require some type of nerve stimulation system, however.

I'm surprised Fox didn't claim "Teh Libr00lz" were going to use the wheelchairs to mind control America.

Toyota once again, ahead of the curve. American Auto need to get out of this messed so they can compete in the future.

This is cool stuff. Think of paralyzed people.
Of course, hopefully the race to help paralyzed people will be won by the folks that are working on nerve regeneration. Next step, body part regeneration. (Like growing back an amputated leg.)

If it can work for a lizard...

Just a matter of time

I'm waiting for a mind-controlled Camry.
