Australian electronics engineer Dave Jones has published a great video on YouTube showing how you can help SETI search for alien radio signals using your Raspberry Pi.
Don't worry if you don't have a Raspberry Pi and would like to get involved, you can download the software for many other devices (Windows, Linux, Android and Mac).
Go to: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download.php to download the software. When your computer/tablet etc is idling, BOINC harnesses your computer's spare CPU power to process scientific data.

Who knows, your computer may be the one that proves we are not alone in the universe!
