Taro Maeda, senior research scientist at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. research center in Atsugi, near Tokyo, explains about a technology that is used for a remote control for humans during a demonstration Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2005. In the technology called galvanic vestibular stimulation, electricity is stimulating the delicate nerves inside the ears that help humans maintain balance. (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye)

The Associated Press business writer Yuri Kageyama tries on a headset to be remote-controlled by a technology that Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp., Japan's top phone company, is developing during a demonstration at an NTT research in Atsugi, near Tokyo, Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2005. Called galvanic vestibular stimulation in scientific jargon, it means electricity is messing with the delicate nerve tissues inside the ear to maintain balance and make people move to the left or right against their will.
