Controlling a Robot With the Emotiv EEG Headset 33
robotsrule writes "This video shows a WowWee Rovio mobile spy robot being piloted remotely over a Skype video call using thought, facial gestures, and head movements, with the help of the Emotiv Systems EPOC 14-electrode EEG headset with built-in gyroscope. An accompanying article explains in detail how the system works and what steps were taken with the Emotiv systems SDK to interface with the EPOC headset along with code samples. The system is based on Robodance 5, a free robot control program for consumer robot owners that will be out in beta on May 20, 2010."

One step closer to getting exoskeletons built and controlled by these headsets to allow people with spinal injuries to walk again.
I was going for mind-controlled robot girlfriends who will do whatever you want but, yeah, I guess your thing would be pretty good too.
