The Cool Product Expo, which took place Wednesday at Stanford University, was a showcase for start-ups, university research labs, and design studios.

Psyleron, a research group based out of Princeton University, focuses on connections between the mind and the physical world.

Inside its color-changing Mind-Lamp is a Random Event Generator, which controls the light, though a nanoscopic phenomena called electron tunneling also makes it sensitive to some outside forces. Thus, the human mind is apparently able to have an effect on the lights.
