I wanted to build something that wasn't too expensive and was easy enough to be done in a sitting or two. I picked out some cheap servo motors, some craft supplies, spent a weekend or two developing code to control the servo's from a microcontroller and after much trial and error, I built some kitty ears that I think are pretty decent.

  • Oh the furries.. they will love these. I think they make wagging tails too somewhere on the interwebs. Anthrocon's about to get a lot more sci-fi.

  • These ears are controlled manually, not by brain activity. On the linked site, read the paragraph preceding the one you guys copy/pasted. “Sadly, I don't think I'm adept enough yet to take on making my own EEG and I don't think the EEG's that are available are very reasonably priced, so I settled for having a button input to control the cat ears.”
