Here’s one of the few, first brain readers that we have around. With the advent of the awesome Hawking chair (that also made it to some teen movie parodies) we all learnt that it’s possible to read the thoughts of those who’re bound to their wheelchairs and rendered immobile. The Indendix EEG system comprises of an EEG cap, a display, and a computer. It can help patients who suffer from paralysis but with working minds. By focusing on letters on the screen, the patients can get them typed automatically by the system and even read aloud. Further sophistications allow users to even e-mail their messages.

Intendix was first exhibited at CeBit tech fair in Germany. It will most likely cost about $12,000.
