Humans control robots with their minds by watching for mistakes

Try again robot, you're doing it wrong. A brain-computer interface lets people correct robots' mistakes using the power of their thoughts. The system uses electroencephalography (EEG) to measure a person's brain signals as they watch a robot work. When it detects a signal suggesting the person has witnessed a mistake, it alters the robot's course. The system could be used to let humans control industrial robots simply by observing them.
