Brainwave Home Control System MindHome Deep Dive: Controlling Your Entire Smart Home With Thought
Neuralink and Samsung release brainwave home control system MindHome, enabling thought-based control of lights, temperature, music and appliances through a non-invasive EEG headband with response latency under 200 milliseconds.
On December 18, 2029, Neuralink and Samsung SmartThings jointly released the brainwave home control system MindHome. The system uses a lightweight non-invasive EEG headband (approximately 45 grams) to read users' motor imagery and attention signals, enabling thought-based control of smart home devices.
MindHome works by translating users' "motor imagery" into control commands. When a user imagines "waving right," the system maps it to "turn on lights"; imagining "making a fist" maps to "turn off music." After about 2 hours of calibration training, the system achieves 91% control accuracy with response latency under 200 milliseconds.
Neuralink's consumer product director said MindHome isn't meant to replace remotes or voice assistants but to provide a new interaction modality for people with mobility limitations. In pilots with spinal cord injury patients, MindHome enabled them to independently control their living environment for the first time.
MindHome supports integration with all devices in the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, including lights, AC, TV, curtains and door locks. The system also supports "scene memory" — users need only imagine a "relaxing" scene, and the system automatically dims lights, plays soothing music and adjusts room temperature.
MindHome is priced at $399, launching Q1 2030.
