Well, at the moment I don't understand how it works, and any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic, but if I follow the link titled "How the Emotiv EPOC Works" then it will remove the mystery, thus making it distinguishable from magic.
So what you're saying is half the world is magic because we don't know anything about half the world. We have theories, but they can't or haven't been proven yet.

Turns out, they've been doing it for close to 2 decades.
