I made a pair of robotic cat ears.

They respond to brain waves.

They can be made with a makerbot, an arduino, and a neurosky mindwave headset. I’ll be releasing the files and more documentation later this week, when I am at home with real Internet and a proper computer, rather than just my phone.

But for now, here’s a short video of my friend Amber trying to decide what to order at Starbucks, which made the ears wiggle.

I’m kind of proud of that.
