You won't be seeing this as an app any time soon, but this development shows where the future of computer interfaces is headed (and in my eyes, also sheds some light on the nature of human consciousness). "Once the Sender makes a decision about whether to rotate the block, they send 'Yes' or 'No' to the Receiver's brain by concentrating on the corresponding light... (For the receivers) we essentially 'trick' the neurons in the back of the brain to spread around the message that they have received signals from the eyes." Of course, I see a great future for systems like this for communication... with pets.
