We still don't exactly know how we think, how we store knowledge in the grey brain cells and how we recall. We can associate, abstract, plan and be creative. The latest Augmented Reality technology will take you on an journey through the miracle of human thinking along a thought chain.

Using a brain–computer interface (BCI), the BrainRunner video game enabled Cybathlon competitors to control the movement of an avatar using only thoughts. Do you have the mental focus to will your avatar to the finish line? Stop by and play the game to see how well technology can in effect, read your mind.

ANYmal
