Samsung is developing a system that might one day allow users to control their TVs with their brains

Samsung is developing a TV system that might one day allow users to flick channels and adjust the volume using their brains. The so-called Project Ponthius is part of a cooperation between the South Korean electronics giant and the Center of Neuroprosthetics of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. The aim of the project is to give people with severe physical disabilities, like quadriplegia, a chance to enjoy their favorite shows without the help of others. Samsung is developing a TV set that might one day allow users to flick channels and adjust the volume using their brains. The system uses a Brain Computer Interface (BCI) to connect the viewer with the TV set.
