Apparently the controller wears a cap containing 32 electrodes that detect brain signals from the scalp, which seems odd considering most students think with an entirely different part of their anatomy. One selectively placed electrode should do the job.
Do we really robots running around with sex on the positronic brain? Data's roll in the hay with Tasha Yar was certainly a highlight for Star Trek fans, but the novelty would have quickly worn off were he doing the nasty with every hot green alien lizard woman the Enterprise encountered.
