An extraordinary mind controlled toy could be available to the public before the end of this year! The company Puzzlebox plans to launch a helicopter packaged with an EEG headset, which will read the electrical brain activity along the scalp of the owner to manipulate up and down movement of the toy.

Relevance to Class
The holiday season is among us which means that everyone will want the latest new toy or gadget! The new mind controlled toy helicopter set to launch before year's end adds an interesting twist to "brain teasers" as it enables users to hone their concentration skills.
