Mind-control TV?
Jun 18th, 2015, 7:55am  
According to this story, which might raise a few eyebrows of disbelief and question the date (is it April 1st?)..


"BroadbandTVNews.com" reports that the BBC is experimenting with "Mind-Control TV" to help users with various disabilities to control their TV and other pieces of equipment using simply 'brainwaves'.

Apparently, in testing for the first trial run, 10 members of BBC staff were able to launch the iPlayer app and watch TV.

Wouldn't the money be better spent on an audio level controller on each network?
