A group of Netflix engineers have developed a device that allows viewers to choose what they want to watch by using their brain waves. The so-called "Mindflix" uses a Muse headband - a wearable device that measures brain signals - which was designed to help users with meditation.

According to Mashable, viewers can browse titles by moving their head from side to side, then select one by concentrating on it. The Muse cannot tell what you are thinking, only how much activity there is at any given time in your frontal lobe. From what we can tell, the device would currently only work for binary options. Netflix is yet to provide more details on how it works.

The device was built as part of Netflix's internal hack day earlier this month, a regular event in which employees get together to casually experiment with new technologies, Live Science reported.
