I want to build a quadrocopter through either the Raspberry Pi/Banana Pi. The catch to it is to have it be mind controlled if possible.
Can you tell/direct me to how to make it? Starting with the quadrocopter and then how to make it mind controlled.
I know it is possible because I saw it on Gadget Man and a Parrot AR Drone.
There is lots of stuff all over the Internet on quadcopters, so I'll let you find that on your own. Once you have one built or bought, you need to build a computer based controller for it. Once you can control it from a computer you will then need to start on the brain control section. Go and get one of these so you can actually read your brain waves.

Once you have that you will hit the hard part: how the hell do you read your brain waves? I would start simply by sitting in front of your computer with the software open and think thoughts for the directions of control of the quad copter and see if there are any obvious patterns in the data. If there are great, you will be able to use those to control the program that controls the quad copter. if you can't then your only hole is to capture the data of your brain waves and analyse it some how in order to distinguish different thoughts.
Personally I would start with the mind control bit first as the other ones seem to have more obvious solutions.
