mind mouse - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  mind mouse
  
     <hardware> A pointing device (unlike a mouse in design,
     but serving the same purpose) which works via sensors in
     contact with the user's skin.  The sensors are built into a
     plastic base which fits on one finger and which is similar in
     shape to a finger cast.
  
     The principle of operation is presumably myoelectric, not
     psionic, contrary to what the name implies.
  
     As of the time of writing (1996), mind mice are not accurate
     enough to be anything but novelties.
