Honeywell Looks At Mind and Speech Control for Future Cockpits

Honeywell Aerospace is researching a series of advanced technologies, from sensors that can tap into brainwaves to control basic aircraft maneuvers to speech-recognition equipment and synthetic-vision advancements,
One of the more far-reaching avenues of research is the neurotechnology demonstration. In this lab Honeywell demonstrated real-time neural control of an aircraft simulator. The company has also demonstrated the use of neural control in a King Air, using the inputs to command basic pitch and roll functions.
From an earlier release:

Another set of experiments set to begin this spring will attempt to sample impulses from another brain structure, the supplementary motor cortex, where the mind plans movement. "What if I imagine that I'm going to move my left elbow up, and if I move my left elbow up that means I want the airplane to bank to the right?" Witwer said. "You don't have to move anything; you just imagine the movement. We start that in the supplementary motor cortex and then we can control the airplane."
So, sit in the plane and click your heels together three times while saying "I want to go home, I want to go home..."

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one that thought it.
