Mind control: 3D-patterned sensors allow robots to be controlled by thought

A new study published in the journal ACS Applied Nano Materials took a step toward making this a reality. The team produced “dry” sensors that can record the brain’s electrical activity despite the hair and the bumps and curves of the head by constructing a specific, 3D-patterned structure that does not rely on sticky conductive gels.
