"Thanks to EEG sensors, controlling objects with the mind has leaped off the pages of science fiction and into reality. Recently, we\u2019ve told you about people controlling drones, exoskeletons \u2014 even other people \u2014 simply by putting on their thinking caps.\nSEE ALSO: Quirky Vending Machines Dispense Wit and Wonder\n\nAlejo Bernal, a recent graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven, has developed a similar project by designing a toy car that can be driven forward with thought, as long as users wear a NeuroSky EEG headset.\nWhile it\u2019s easy to imagine Bernal\u2019s car being the slickest remote-controlled toy on the block, the car wasn\u2019t designed so much for play as it was for improving concentration skills, especially for those diagnosed with attention deficit disorders. When users focus on moving the car, the vehicle lights up to indicate neuronal activity.\n\u201CAs you try to focus, the increased light intensity of the vehicle indicates the level of attention you have reached,\u201D Bernal told Dezeen. \u201COnce the maximum level is achieved and retained for seven seconds, the vehicle starts moving forward. This project helps users to develop deeper, longer concentration by exercising the brain. It is possible for people to train or treat their minds through their own effort and not necessarily using strong medicines, such as ritalin.\u201D\nSEE ALSO: Neurocam Scans Your Brain, Records Your Interests\n\nBernal\u2019s project currently exists only as a working prototype, so don\u2019t expect the car to hit the market any time soon. Still, we\u2019d love to take it for a test drive.\nHave something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.\nImage: Chris Bevan"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
