NeuroSky Inc, a venture company based in San Jose, Calif, prototyped a system that reads brain waves with a sensor and uses them for mobile phone applications.

We thought the coolest aspect was the fact that they were able to develop apps that did the following:

(1) show the degree of brain’s relaxation on the screen of a mobile phone by using a visualizer
(2)  show the degree of brain’s tension in chronological order after a user solves about 10 arithmetical problems (addition, multiplication, etc) shown on the screen of a mobile phone
(3) a game application to move a video game character to an intended place as quickly as possible on the screen of a mobile phone. The more the degree of brain’s concentration, the more quickly the character moves.

Everyday, it seems the lines between Science Fiction and reality are constantly being blurred!
