Brain interface... thing... for games... or something

It's a goofball helmet you won't be able to be seen wearing, ever, but it sounds pretty cool.

If they make this advanced enough, we might just see the day when people can't claim their faulty keyboard/mouse caused them to lose.

hahaha check the comments:

I absolutely love how close the battery is to my frontal lobe. I hope that in this device description that it will cause brain tumors and even death.

OH NO NOT BATTERIES

But wouldnt something that connects your mind to the game make everthing you think happen exactly like you tough, thus making action games impossible to lose at? :)

The way these things work from my understanding is, they can detect certain things that are "easy" to see, not just somehow allowing you to type with your brain. So for instance, you might need to train the thing to detect certain things... like... dumbass example that'll never happen but here goes, you might train it to "see" when you are thinking of the color red. And when you think red, BOOM HEADSHOT. Of course it won't be the color red you think of, it'll be... things.... elsewise... or something.... yeah...

Yes I hear they're bringing out the attachment that goes on your crotch in a little while.

Uh I think there are USB sextoys which work in a similar way.

But like as we play today the orders your brain give must run down your spine and all the arm to the hand, where it will be transfered through the fingers to the controller wich will send it to the video-game by the cable... Isnt Brain > video-game jumping too much stuff all of a sudden? :)

I read an article... think it was on slashdot too... about a japanese company that basically you train the software to recognize what your brain does when you look at certain objects and after training it it will remember when you last so those objects and play back a video of where it was...

Also there was this one where you could think up or down or whatever to program the software and then it recognizes these as commands.

the article about this new helmet thing seems to indicate is would basically report non-gameplay elements... like your emotions or what you were looking at on screen so your avatar would emulate these actions.
