Scientist pilots a drone using just his thoughts

Scientist pilots a drone using just his thoughts | Daily Mail Online: "If the idea of getting on a flight already fills you with dread, the latest breakthrough in aviation technology could turn fears into full-blown phobias.

Researchers have successfully shown how a pilot can take off, fly, twist and turn, and land a drone using just his thoughts. 

During a public presentation in Lisbon, the team used a high-performance electroencephalogram (EEG) cap (left) to measure the brain waves of a ‘pilot’.

The flight involved an electroencephalogram (EEG) cap and specially-designed software - and it could one day lead to passenger planes being controlled using only brainwaves."
