Not sure how practical this is, but should be interesting

>ABSTRACT:
>The temporal breakdown of neural activity can provide important 
>information about higher level brain function. By examining the 
>amount of neural activity in key frequency bands information about 
>various mental processes, such as attention and cognition, can be extracted.
>
>The goal of this project is to implement a system for the real-time 
>extraction of these neural parameters. The system is part of a 
>larger project, the Mind Attention Interface (MAI). In the MAI, 
>these measurements of neural activity moderate the generation of 
>various auditory and visual stimuli in an interactive virtual 
>reality environment.

Also a talk the next day on Wireless supply chain tracking with RFID 
<http://cecs.anu.edu.au/seminars/showone.pl?SID=372>.

There was an item in the news today about Defence and RFID
