What you need is just a wink of an eye, a smile or raise your eyebrow and you will be able to change your favorite tracks in iPod or even turn on the TV.

Known as the “Mimi Switch, the device looks and fits like a pair of earphones, except it is fitted with a set of infrared sensors that measure movements inside the ear that result from different facial expressions.
