Researchers in Tokyo, Japan have developed a wheelchair that can be driven by signals from the user's brainwaves.
The development team reports the user, with practice, can tell the chair to move forward, right, or left, just by thinking about it. They say a driver can achieve a 95-percent accuracy rate with their commands if they practice three hours a day for a week.
The developers, who include researchers from Riken and Toyota Motors, hope to one day create a wheelchair that can respond to more complicated commands than simple directions.
