Netflix may soon have a way for binge-watchers to take their laziness to new heights. 。 A group of the company's engineers recently constructed a makeshift device that allows viewers to choose what they want to watch using only their brainwaves.
。 The gadget, called Mindflix, is a modified version of a Muse headband — which is designed to monitor brain activity for meditation purposes — outfitted with a motion sensor.

。 To be clear, the Muse can't tell exactly what you are thinking, only how much activity there is at any given time in your frontal lobe. So from what we can tell, the device would currently only work for binary options. We've reached out to Netflix for 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. Past events have yielded other creative takes on the Netflix home screen, like this virtual reality video store. 。
