From the continuing Google-Apple turf war on voice recognition to Microsoft’s gesture tracking with Kinect , humans continue to push the envelope on the best way to interact with computers and devices.

Remember that they don’t seem to be talking about controlling humans a la Gorilla Grodd … yet. Instead, they’re talking about controlling computer actions and devices via brain waves. IBM software guru and potential Borg recruit Kevin Brown (pictured right) has already been using a headset to maneuver cubes on a working laptop or computer screen at will. Given the continuing progress with mind-controlled cars and BrainGate , IBM’s prediction may not be too far-fetched.
