The article just says it functions via reading brainwaves and head movements.

... What?

Can... we expand on that?

What hardware is he using that can read brainwaves in any kind of useful way at all?

Is he using something like this?

You are right. The video shows a dermal electroencephalogram (EEG). The article talks about the "60 Minutes" video using an array being an inspiration. Both an array or EEG are tech from the 2010's. I am enthralled by the tech/research and wish it paid better.
