Control your N900 with your mind
After some gestures and other helping tools, we are all dreaming of controlling our gadgets like smartphones, with our minds. the future is now here with ThinkContacts and NeuroSky MindSet
now you can control your Nokia N900 with your mind and NeuroSky MindSet by picking a contact from your address book and call him just using your brainwaves!
thanks to mirkoperkutich we are able to see something amazing:

ThinkContacts is a mobile application developed for the Maemo platform using Qt. ThinkContacts allows the user to select a contact from the phone's address book and make a phone call by only using the brain's activity. It is explained and demonstrated in this video using a Nokia N900 and a NeuroSky Mindset headset.
how does it work? well NeuroSky has put some informations together:
"Grounded in Medical Research
The last century of neuroscience research greatly increased our medical understanding about the brain and the rich energy it emits. Brainwave patterns of varying frequencies combine to form electrical signals detectable on the scalp. Measuring this has historically required complex, intimidating and immovable equipment costing thousands of dollars, limiting the benefits to the medical research community.
For a broad market, NeuroSky ThinkGear technology senses analog electrical brainwaves and processes them into digital signals to make measurements available to power the user-interface of games, computers and medical applications. NeuroSky has worked within this academic trove of research and pioneered technology for broad use in consumer products, educational electronics and medical devices. The next century will be characterized by a much deeper understanding of the brain. Technologies from NeuroSky will be instrumental in the effort to harness, maintain and heal this most vital of human organs.
Brainwaves, Not Thoughts
Our stainless alloy sensor monitors neural signals, inputting them into our ThinkGear ASIC chip, which processes the signal. A monumental hurdle lies in distinguishing brain signal from the noise that comes from ambient environment, muscle movement, chewing, etc. Such noise interferences are digitally filtered out and eliminated. Raw brain signals are amplified and processed by algorithms—delivering concise input to the device with which the user is interfacing. Algorithms come from both NeuroSky as well as research institutions and universities, and are grounded in decades of clinical research. They currently include “attention”, “meditation,” and physical eyeblinks. Many new algorithms are in development with partners. NeuroSky technology accurately measures mental state brainwaves today, but is busy in labs throughout the world advancing development in new areas of emotional EEG, EMG (muscle movement), EOG (optical movement) and ECG (cardiac behavior)."
