Roozbeh Jafari, an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas, is currently doing a research on how to enable people to use their mind and thoughts in order to get an application running, choose a contact, select a music file or even to turn their Galaxy Note 10.1 table on or off.
Such a progress will be a great help to people with motion disorders as it can allow them to come in contact with the world around them.
