This blog vacillates between mammoth polemics of turgid prose and short links to various interesting things. This post is the latter. It seems that Emotiv Systems has designed a helmet that allows you to control action in a game with thoughts. Think hard that you want to lift a rock and you do it, concentrate your anger and evil spirits are banished. All very cool and with ramifications for all sorts of things; guiding missiles for instance. The technology still sounds fairly primitive and some amount of calibration is required, for example telling the game what your version of a push looks like from a neuron perspective. Nevertheless, this is something I have been excited about for as long as I can remember and its very exciting that it might finally be coming to fruition.
