Imagine the uses for something like this? If this story is true, we could someday soon be
playing games by simply using our minds. Though it should be noted that many around this community would be at a massive disadvantage right off the bat with their pea sized cranium mass. Whaa???

Gamers will soon be able to interact with the virtual world using their thoughts and emotions alone. A neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain will go on sale later this year.
"It picks up electrical activity from the brain and sends wireless signals to a computer," said Tan Le, president of US/Australian firm Emotiv. "It allows the user to manipulate a game or virtual environment naturally and intuitively," she added.
The brain is made up of about 100 billion nerve cells, or neurons, which emit an electrical impulse when interacting. The headset implements a technology known as non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) to read the neural activity. |
Check out this video too...pretty bad ass.
