(CNN) — It’s the $199 headband that will allow you to control things using your mind, the makers say. The Muse headband was unveiled this week at LeWeb and Stephanie Busari caught up with founder of Interaxon Ariel Garten for a demonstration of the brainwave-sensing headband. Garten says Muse works using the same technology used in hospitals known as Electroencephalography (EEG), which records electrical activity along the scalp. Muse is embedded with four sensors that allows you to see and track your brain’s activity, in the same way a heart rate monitor gives information about your physical activity. You can also use your mind to control games and applications supplied with the headband, Garten says. “It interacts with content directly with your mind so you can play games that you are able to control with your mind,” says the Canadian neuroscientist and entrepreneur. Connecting to any device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop via bluetooth, Muse can be worn on the go and includes a “brain fitness suite” app that tracks the state of your brain or can help you de-stress.

“As Metzger sat during a series of 20-minute sessions, trying not to think, readings were taken every two minutes of the electrical activity in his brain. The resulting electroencephalograms were used to create the instructions for a robot to work on the stone at a factory in Oxfordshire. The end product looks like a non-functioning washing machine. Perhaps this is a blueprint for art. In the future, machines will do the work, while artists stare”

My second comic, CHANGE, is coming out this Wednesday, 12/12/12. It will be available in most comic book stores in the United States and also on the Image Comics app if you prefer your comics digitally.

CHANGE is four issues long. One issue per month. Each issue will cost $2.99. CHANGE is about apocalypse, it’s about saving the world, about death and rebirth, about imagination, forgiveness, destiny, free will, chaos, order, avoidance, going through with things. It’s about being alive. It’s a horror, it’s a SF thriller, it’s a drama, it’s a comedy. We’re reaching high with this one.

I’m working on CHANGE with Morgan Jeske on art, Sloane Leong on colors, Ed Brisson on lettering and Jordie Bellaire on cover colors. We will appreciate your support. If you grab the first issue and it won’t work for you, email me at aleskotsays at gmail and I’ll paypal you back your money.

These are the prequel pages for Change that won’t be in #1. You’ll get the story without them, but they’re beautiful and they add some more nuance. This is a podcast I did in San Diego this July – the second time I talked about Change to a journalist. Here’s a recent interview for Mishka NYC that I’m quite happy with. This is Morgan talking about his process. These are the first eight pages of Change #1, free of charge.

I’m also doing a signing at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood this Wednesday from 10:30 AM until I sell out of all the copies the store will have. If you’re going to be in the Hollywood area, do stop by.
