This Brain-Sensing Headband Lets You Control Things With Your Mind

If Darth Vader gets his gloves on this brain-sensing headband, he won't be needing the Force any longer.

A headband called "Muse" displays your brain's activity directly onto your smartphone or tablet. It's compatible with both iOS or Android devices.

InteraXon, the Toronto-based group behind Muse, says it plans to use the technology to eventually sync with other devices. Your television or laptop, for example, might soon be controllable using the headband.

An Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for Muse ended on Dec. 7. InteraXon reached a total of $287,472, surpassing its original goal of $150,000.
