thought-controlled
Guided by cognition
Thought-controlled describes technology operated by brain signals rather than physical input—detecting neural activity and translating it into commands: thought-controlled prosthetic limbs, thought-controlled wheelchairs.
The term appears in science fiction for devices responding directly to mental intention, and increasingly in descriptions of real brain-computer interfaces.
