From Lab to Living Room: Think2Switch™ Lets Users Control Devices With Their Thoughts

Calgary, April 13, 2026 — Possibility Neurotechnologies today launched Think2Switch™, a first-of-its-kind mobile app that enables people to control devices and interact with their environment using only their thoughts—no physical interaction or voice input required.

Designed for use in everyday environments like homes, classrooms, and communities, Think2Switch opens new ways for anyone to engage with technology, while offering life-changing potential for individuals with physical disabilities who may have limited or no other means of interaction.

Now available on the Apple App Store, the Calgary-based innovation uses affordable EEG headbands to turn brain signals into real-time actions—bringing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology out of the lab and into daily life.

“This is everyday technology, designed so people can interact with the world using their thoughts. We’ve developed it in partnership with children and individuals facing significant barriers to interaction, so that it works for everyone. What matters most is what it enables: people can make choices, express themselves, and take part in everyday moments in ways that weren’t possible before.”

How Think2Switch Works

Think2Switch pairs with consumer EEG headbands to detect and interpret brainwave signals in real time. The app translates these signals into simple commands, enabling users to interact with apps on Apple devices or control their environment through smart home integrations.

Think2Switch can be set up and used independently by teachers, parents, caregivers, or peers, requiring no specialised training. By eliminating complex setup and the need for dedicated support, it enables consistent, self-directed use in situations where many existing solutions are difficult to implement.

Unlimited Possibilities

Claire has been using BCI technology since the age of three and is among more than 150 families worldwide who have been early adopters of Think2Switch. Claire, who cannot speak or move her arms and legs freely, brings her iPad and EEG headband to school each day, where her teacher sets up the Think2Switch system so she can choose library books, select colours for art projects, and make her own choices throughout the day. In some cases, even her classmates help set up the system.

The vision behind Think2Switch™ is further illustrated in a recently released video that follows 10-year-old Claire as she uses Think2Switch™ to create art with her brother, producing colourful splatters across a canvas using only her thoughts. More than the activity itself, the video captures moments of play, connection, and spontaneity: two siblings interacting, experimenting, and making a mess together like any other kids.

Accessible Neurotechnologies

Think2Switch is available now for download on the Apple App Store. New users receive a free first month, followed by a $35/month subscription. The app currently works with select consumer EEG headbands, including the Muse Athena (available with an exclusive 15% discount at choosemuse.com/possneuro), with additional device compatibility being added over time.
