Watching Charmed a few years back, I wondered if it is really possible to control things with the mind. I know that telekinesis is real and it is something that some people are gifted with. However, what I am after is a power that will really define the human brain as powerful. Something that every normal human being will be able to do with little effort. Then I heard of Interaxon, a company that will host its first mind controlled techniques open to the public on February 12 to 28, 2010 in Vancouver.

So, what exactly will Interaxon do on the said dates? During the last two weeks of February, tourists and visitors will be able to control the lights of Toronto's CN Tower, the Niagara Falls, and the Parliament center in Ottawa. Using their minds.

The company will provide head gears that the visitors should wear. These head gears will then record the alpha and beta waves of the brain. The alpha waves are caused by relaxation and the beta waves signal concentration. As soon as the head gears record these waves, it will then transmit it via internet to the controls of the lights in those structures. After which, the lights will responds according to the alpha and beta waves transmitted.

This is the first time that Interaxon showcases a thought controlled event. If successful, they are even looking at creating mind powered gadgets for home and office use. That seems kind of neat, huh? The event falls on the same date of the 2010 Winter Olympics so they are expecting a lot of people to witness this event.
