See this link: the brain orchestra

Nothing amazing, though: stacking blocks, making a picture appear (not of your choosing) and other things; the algorithm is simple though: if your brain exhibits this or that pattern of waves (something you can control, if with great difficulty, and usually not for very long), flip switch A, B, or C etc. resulting in a stacked block, piece of a picture, or whatever. Yeah, we're not very good at this stuff yet. Hopefully in another decade we'll have the brain completely mapped and be able to put it to better use. There -is- a prosthetic arm that's controllable by implant though. That's pretty sweet. pretty good photo! it is possible though, even if it isn’t quite how we think. but using an EEG, and special software, there are a few applications you can ‘control’ (very loose term here) with your mind on a PC (or Mac).
