In the April 1st (no joke) episode of the Skeptics Guide to the Universe, the crew - including the neurologist Dr. Steve Novella, discussed what possible applications could need mind control where manual control or voice control wasn't just as good.
And the immediate - and obvious - use to my mind, is enhanced teledildonics.
In case you've never heard of teledildonics, it is the field of science(?) that handles remote-controlled sex toys. Now recent inventions like the "Real Touch" synthetic sex orifice have worked on the idea that a visual component (a video) is needed with the synthetic orifice. (They say "orifice" because it is penis-centric technology and could be used to simulate straight/gay vaginal/anal sex. In other words, it could either be an electric anus or vagina. (I bet my mom is so proud of helping me go to college as an English major.)
Anyway, the technology discussed on the SGU allows some simple manipulation of robotic mechanisms via a hat. What kinds of activity might you be engaged in where your hands were actively doing something and your mouth was busy so that it couldn't speak out a command, but you wanted to be able to control a robotic device? Looks like "in bed" isn't just for appending to fortune-cookies anymore!
I foresee a time when a pair of consenting adults can be engaged in the most remarkable activities wherein many orifices are stimulated by friend and faux. I won't spell out what I'm thinking - but I can almost guarantee it'll be illegal in The South.
