change bicycle gears with your brain!

Scientists have unveiled a carbon fiber concept bicycle that uses brainwaves to change its gears.

The Toyota Prius Project Parlee PXP bike has a thought-controlled gearbox that works by responding to cues from the brain and experts believe anyone will be able to master the technique, reports the Daily Mail.

Human/digital interface specialist Deeplocal built the one-of-a-kind helmet, which transfers brainwaves using wireless technology to a micro-control.

The ‘neuron helmet’ uses electrodes to pick up neuro-electrical activity to send signals to an electronic gear shifter mounted under the bike's seat.
