This helicopter is being controlled by a human brain

"First, there’s the order of complexity to consider. This quadcopter has to be navigated across three different dimensions. To make it work, engineers at the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering fitted a cap with 64 electrodes. Participants were then asked to imagine using their right hand, left hand, and both hands together in order to instruct the quadrotor to turn right, left, lift, and fall, respectively. The flying device was configured with a pre-set forward moving velocity to make it manageable.

The users sat in front of a screen which showed images of the quadrotor’s flight in realtime as it was being recorded by its onboard camera. The brain signals were recorded by the cap and transmitted to the copter via WiFi."
