Gone are the days when you have to turn the dial until you find a good radio station. Now, there’s the iPod and the Internet to take care of those things for you. And also with the advent of technology comes this amazing Emotiv EPOC Headset that can read your mind.

This headset acts as a gaming device and also an aid for the disabled. It has 14 EEG electrodes that can monitor brain activity, and also a gyroscope that can detect what your thoughts are. This headset is powered by Li-ion battery that can last for up to 12 hours. It is wireless and can charge through the USB.

The headset reads brain activity, and then translates this in a software to control various applications like photos, games and on-screen keyboard. There are about three kits of this accessory; the only difference is the software.

The basic $300 version works with your PC or Mac while the $500 developer version allows writing of apps that can work with EPOC. The $750 version, on the other hand, allows access to the raw EEG data.
