Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com - @BednarChuck Researchers have successfully demonstrated a brain-to-computer interface that makes it possible to control an unmanned drone with your mind, the aerospace firm responsible for developing the technology revealed Tuesday in a blog post. Officials from that company, Tekever, and a team of European researchers successfully tested out their Brainflight technology during a public demonstration held earlier this week in Lisbon, Portugal. Using a cap capable of detecting mental activity, Brainflight enables pilots to use their thoughts to control an unmanned vehicle, according to Engadget reports.
