In other words it makes an electrical connection using the musculature in your forehead to have an electric motor create the force to levitate the ball. No trick, but no great accomplishment either. Show me a ball levitating without the device. Then I'll be impressed

@cut22, so you'll only be impressed if someone creates a device that magically defies physics? O_o

It's pretty damn impressive that they've got a way to read brain activity, to control a device. Amazing technology right there.

Devices like this will become common place eventually. Forget about that keyboard and mouse, you'll be typing and clicking buttons all with your thoughts someday.

I don't see any way you can call this a "trick".
