Ray Kurzweil said that the human brain will be reverse engineered using computers by 2020, he may have been more correct than he knew. Researchers at the Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne [EPFL] in Switzerland have created a brain-controlled al-agumented wheelchair.

The wheelchair works by "detecting specific brain patterns, but it backs that up with some artificial intelligence" along with "a pair of cameras and some image processing software that allows the wheel chair to avoid obstacles." [Engadget]
