The line between reality and science-fiction is getting harder to discern. Telekinesis has always been left to the likes of Roald Dahl and the X-Men, but London based studio [This Place](http://www.thisplace.com/?ref=protein.xyz) is currently developing an app which lets you control Google Glass with your mind.   
  
[MindRDR](http://mindrdr.thisplace.com/static/index.html?ref=protein.xyz)works by combining Google Glass with[ Neurosky’s EEG](http://neurosky.com/products-markets/eeg-biosensors/?ref=protein.xyz) mind control sensor, which wirelessly sends raw brain data of two mental states: attention and meditation. Using this data, This Place has managed to programme in functionality for taking a photo, and then sharing it on social media.  
  
The app's algorithm seeks out any peaks or troughs in cognitive activity and associates them with yes and no answers. When a wearer concentrates in a very focussed way on something, that can be considered a peak and signify a command for yes. Conversely, when a wearer relaxes their mind or thinks of nothing, the app's algorithm interprets this as a trough, and generates a negative command.   
  
Stephen Hawking has expressed an interest, with the hope that in the future MindRDR could give those with conditions like locked-in syndrome, severe multiple sclerosis or quadriplegia the opportunity to interact with the wider world through wearable technology like Google Glass.
