An Illustration You Can Use!

At the Wright-Patterson Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio, researchers hope they will develop the means for pilots to fly airplanes with their minds. The project is called brain-actuated control. Writers Ron Kotulak & Jon Van say this is how it could work. The pilots would wear scalp monitors that pick up electric signals from various points on their heads. The scalp monitor would be wired to a computer. Using biofeedback techniques, the pilot would learn to manipulate the electrical activity created by his or her thought processes. The computer would translate the electrical signals into mechanical commands for the airplane. Imagine being able to bank an airplane’s wings, accelerate, and climb another 10,000 feet, all by controlling what you think.

Now this technology is still in the development stage, but our minds already have tremendous control over one thing: our behavior. The way we think determines the way that we live.
