Literally.
With their software and headset device they are able to detect brain signals and use those brain signals to train the computer to perform a specific action. Then, you make the computer do what you want simply by thinking about it.
Here's an interesting video presentation which includes a demo:

In what ways do you think a device like this might be used?

Wow, very cool, and scary too. I imagine we would need some serious legislation to make sure this device is only being used for good.
I think this would come in handy for all sorts of tasks, such as navigating the internet, controlling artificial limbs, and doing biofeedback training. Actually biofeedback training has a lot of promise for medical fields such as rehabilitation.
