"Genius kid"? I really dislike the unnecessary and unqualified exoticization. He's a smart kid, with access to time and resources. The sort of time and resources that any kid - Any person, really - With an interest should have access to. We'd have a lot more "geniuses" in the world if that were the case.
Sorry, best we can do is you get 1 hour for ~~yourself~~ chores tonight after work.
The article just says it functions via reading brainwaves and head movements.
... What?
Can... we expand on that?
What hardware is he using that can read brainwaves in any kind of useful way at all?
Is he using something like this?
You are right. The video shows a dermal electroencephalogram (EEG). The article talks about the "60 Minutes" video using an array being an inspiration. Both an array or EEG are tech from the 2010's. I am enthralled by the tech/research and wish it paid better.
A pity this article does not give any link to sources...
