With the help of Japan, we are another step closer to seeing X-men in reality. Researchers at Toyota and Japan’s Riken have developed a brain-control system for a wheelchair. The system analyzes thought patterns and translates them into wheelchair movement in a fraction of a second. The brain controlled wheelchair video reminds us of Professor X from X-men.

Speaking of X-men, if you are in the NYC area, be sure to check out the Asian American Comic-con.
