Racing drones has become fairly common place in engineering departments at universities, but students from the University of Florida took it to a new level by controlling the flying robots with their minds. The students controlled the drones using technology called brain-computer interface, Juan Gilbert, endowed professor and chair of UF's computer and information science and engineering program, explained in a video posted Friday. When people are hooked up to BCI technology, it gives them the ability to control an external device with their mind -- sort of like mastering the force or telekinesis. It's actually the same technology that gave a paralyzed man the ability to walk again. The students wore electroencephalogram (EEG) headbands that are able to measure electrical impulses from the brain.
