10 Technologies That Can Make You Into a Superhero

Mind-Controlled Electronics

Why use your hands when you can use your mind? More and more advances in brain-computer interfaces are taking thought-controlled devices outside of the realm of science fiction. In 2015 DARPA researchers were able give a quadriplegic woman neural implants that allowed her to control a flight simulator with her mind.

Companies like Neurable and CTRL Labs (shown) have been developing novel technologies to allow consumers to interact with and control electronic devices using external sensors – eliminating the need for the type of surgery that would lead to a great superhero origin story.

And if you think no one is serious about this technology, consider that CTRL Labs was purchased by Facebook to the tune $1 billion.
