Things That Exist (or Thank you, Japan!): Mind-Controlled Cat Ear Headbands

 One thing my friends know about me is I love nearly everything Japanese - the food, the films, the animation, but most of all  I love unnecessary Japanese novelty items.  That's why one of my favorite things to do in Epcot is just wander around Mitsukoshi (read about the original in Tokyo over meah) - clear plastic 3D Unicorn Puzzel? Of course! Speaker system that looks like a mini-jazz band? Brilliant!

I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of this pre-emptive warning.

(No lie - first thing my friend said: "OMG Froggie Body Sponge!")

So, imagine my nerdgasm when I saw these over at Nerdist.com

Now, I don't necessarily want to own these, but I do want to play with them - so, so bad. Much the same way I want make friends with someone who owns a Mind Flex.
Anyway, these mind-controlled Cat Ears - called "Necomimi" - are made by a company called Nerowear  (visit their site  - in Japanese - over meah.) This is what they say about themselves according to their site as translated by Google

"Neurowear" is the name of our project to develop fashion items and gadgets

using brain waves and other biosensor with "Augumented Human Body" as the concept.

Other than the first project "necomimi", we are planning to development other various items. 

  Other various items, you say? What might those be, Neurowear? The obvious next step are tails - you'll make Cosplay and Renn Fair enthusiasts very happy and, lets be honest, Furries will rejoice. . . if they're not already.  But where do you go after that?  I say you update the grabber, Doc Ock Style. 

Come on! Talk about an awesome way to change a lighbulb.
