Controlling objects with your mind once used to be exclusive to the pages of science fiction. But now, with EEG sensors, all of that is real now. People have been controlling drones, exoskeletons and more by putting on those thinking caps.

Alejo Bernal, a recent graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven developed a similar project. He wanted to drive a car with just his mind. All he has to do is wear a NeuroSky EEG headset.

Bernal's car wasn't designed so much for play as it was for improving concentration skills, and it was designed especially for those diagnosed with attention deficit disorders. When a user is controlling the car, the vehicle lights up to indicate neuronal activity.

“As you try to focus, the increased light intensity of the vehicle indicates the level of attention you have reached,” Bernal told Dezeen. “Once 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.”

For now, you can't drive a car like a Jedi just yet because Bernal's project is still in the prototype stage.
