Controlling video games with your mind [BBC News Report]

[ouishansen923l]

This is one "sad" video. =p

[agassiz331]

That is so cool. It would make it so people with a disability could play too.

[Guineapig300n60]

Alot of ideas on how to make costruction workers safer... What happens if someone imagines what it would be like killing their boss with a crane while they have this thing on...

PC

[jesselesnik9]

GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES!

[deividas56]

I always think stuff like "SHIT LOL HI MASTURBATOR FUCKING ASSHOLE DICKWAWD HELLO THERE OMG COOL FUCKING FUCK" I wonder what will this turn out in a video game...

[grmmripper]

Well, I'm done trying to mod HL2. This just made me feel so insecure. I'm learning campaign logic, and they make a mod where you can play with your mind.

Fuck you, science.

[tiny3607]

HL@ FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flar28]

what cant gmod do

[MasonH32]

???

[gillgodd]

SO COOL

[ZombieCATy]

Amazing hope to see in the market soon

[KUR1SU]

I wouldn't be too surprised if this technology gets used in Nintendo's next big console.

[RevJesseJackson]

So much for kinect being the future of gaming...lmfao....

[Sorryimstrait]

this looks cool

[Xextreem]

yah great read my mind. stay the fuck out off my head. We got already no privacy. My head is mine.

[wookovar]

In twenty or so years, kids will play video games and wonder when their parents walk in the room and say "we used to use keyboard and a mouse".

[gagme24]

again...IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!!!

[gagme24]

It was a joke...

[pelvist]

This would be great for a Star Wars game

[ReverseCycology]

Xbox is the mutha fucking best. Fuck the rest.

[eaststeed]

@ReverseCycology your point?

[dragonfighter4171]

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

[TheDarklord0211]

LOL HES USEING A HALFLIFE MOD XD that means its fake!

[jci10]

I remember doing that back in 1985 on my Commodore 64. The device was an elastic head-band and you would think to move forward/backward/sideways in this game. It was pretty cool back in 1985. You can also use it to lower your heart rate. I forget the name of the manufacturer, but it was expensive: $150!!!

As that saying goes, "What is old is new again". yelp

[tf2kidd]

is this gmod or hl2dm?

[magicstorm1]

my head hurts by just thinking about this...

[Alexch001]

Any gmod player would know that these things in Gmod have thrusters, and Hooverballs. :C

[chuckapup]

That game looks a lot like Garry's mod. Mmmmmmm.... that would be amazing.

[dakatubes]

wow, this is awesome. imagine playing tekken or dbz games with this?

[TheSalazara]

@dakatubes Oblivion, Flight Simulator.

[TeHREALLegenD]

pffft garrys mod

[1w2i3l4t]

:50

the narrator lies.

[qefytg]

Look, those are people from HL2. Also, your health is indicated also.

[thecodguy163]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

[michon96]

this would be great for bioshock

[RylyC]

@michon96 I thought that just from looking the title. haha

[Paskakasane]

HE'S PLAYING GARRY'S MOD!

[crypto5000]

Well i wish this was really in real life, because humans only use 10% of their brain if we used 100% we could move stuff with our mind how cool is that :)

[herroimyerro]

@crypto5000 not true, we use 100% of our brains

[lookiSVK]

@herroimyerro we really use only 15-30 percent of our brain

[adamheart85]

@lookiSVK No, we use 100%, look it up. If we used 15% of our brains, we'd all be retarded.

[TheSalazara]

@adamheart85 Not quite accurate. While the 10% thing is a myth, in reality, at any given time the average person uses only 10-12% of their brain at 100% functional capacity, and while the others parts are still active, they're not running at max.

[adamheart85]

@TheSalazara Cool. In fact, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

[TheSalazara]

@adamheart85 Random? But ok lol.

[1981z28camaro]

lol, this would be sweet with "Star Wars The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition" when you are Darth Vader :-)

[Consumerofknowledge]

No, I quite often win at life.

[TopBadge]

its Garry's mod you DURPS

[Consumerofknowledge]

you pieces of crap. Next they will want to control your mind and sell or download games into your brain. Someone, stop bill gates from monopolizing this technology.

[enger123]

Either you are joking, or you fail at life.

[desu38]

Play Half-Life 2 with my mind? How awesome is that?

[jeyko666]

THAT IS HALF LIFE 2 MOD

[Mudstep5956]

imagine hooking that up to modern warfare 2

[apescan]

yeahhhh!!! osm

[PatrickEatZombie]

half life mods ftw

[jordanthewizard]

bet you, someone is off screen with a controller in their hands, they don't show the guy actually playing the games, just video, 100% fake.

[friskydeadman]

just like the earth is flat

[Sakado95]

@jordanthewizard

good fail.

[jordanthewizard]

this is as real as the Phantom video game console

[Sakado95]

@jordanthewizard

lol

[bnathwani20]

OMG, THIS IS SCARY! THIS IS LIKE ALIEN STUFF! OMFG!! THIS IT TOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

(does it actually work perfectly?)

[daevltimi]

No, look for tech demos of the Emotiv Epoc controller on youtube.

It's still super buggy, but it's a step forward I guess.

[International0IDIOT]

OMFG HE KEPT ON GETTING PWNED! He haz no excuse he's a noob mind and body... now when I think of it, could I use the Mindflex head set with Xpadder to play Gmod?

[Ebony220208]

now a real lightsaber like in starwars can be created muhahahahaha

[MrFoxstyle]

Like I said.G-mod dumbasses.Not theirs,MINE.

[mrps21994]

i love how they say the first brain controlled games may b on the market by next year and this vid was posted in may of 2007......can they try to speed up the process a lil bit plz?

[IntrepidMoocher]

Fucking A!!! BRING IT ON!!

[wiiand360player]

yes well most gamers are of the male species, and as you know us men think about a load of random shit, so if this stuff was introduced we'd be playing CoD and suddenly our gun would turn into a rubber frog, the map would become the jungle from The Lion King and the theme from south park would play in the background

[Cressweed]

sounds awesome haha

[Askthisguy]

im sorry but you are kidding?.. if your not you sexist and bit of a loser?!?

[wiiand360player]

since you can't seem to notice humor when you read it then yes, i am kidding, plus, how am i being sexist towards men since i am a man myself, i've learned to be able to poke fun at myself/ my gender

[Askthisguy]

fair does, my bad. im a bit stupid in that respect

[wiiand360player]

lol, no probs, sometimes people just misunderstand and stuff

[EggyLR]

your pretty creative.

[gagme24]

what if somone hacks your headset and reads your mind?

[Paininc]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[Idealvideos15]

what if you could hack a computer with your mind?

[gagme24]

Then I would be a purple bunny on mount asparagus with a tommy gun fighting the corn monster...in half-life

[Idealvideos15]

umm ok. but im saying it would be like the matrix.

[gagme24]

oh...can i still be the bunny though?

[Idealvideos15]

yes you can be a bunny. lol

[Dreamcube017]

@gagme24 Hmm... I don't think it works that way... now if someone can send electrical signals too your brain.. then that may be a problem... but if there's no way for the headset to recieve signals, then it can't be done, unless the helment is modified. I tried one, but it works on the way the muscles in your head and face move or something.

[TheSalazara]

@gagme24 It doesn't work like that

[JJtoob]

@gagme24 That will depend on the hardware, but some things can't be used backwards, like a television station can't see you through you TV. Or an RC car can't be hacked to move the joystick, unless of course, like I said, the hardware allowed it (like force feedback for example). Be scared when they come out with headsets that allow you to feel or do things (like a game that will induce or amplify sadness or literally make you cry when a character dies for example).

[AveryMaurice]

@gagme24 Dude are you serious? XD The headset only detects basic signals from your brain, not whole messages.

[Sinnlosx01]

@gagme24 lol, now you have to say the same thing again and again... cause a joke you made 11 months ago, i feel with you dude... too many idiots out there that didnt check it or read 1 comment and make a comment >.<

[gagme24]

@Sinnlosx01 Lol i wish people would scroll down and see that I've already replied to two people who took my comment litteral. Oh well, I guess I'll end up doing the same thing sooner or later.

[116randomness]

@gagme24 lol "It may be on the market by next year" video posted in 2007.

[TheImmortalWeapon]

@gagme24 i hope you're joking

[gagme24]

@TheImmortalWeapon @TheImmortalWeapon Really!? How freakin' hard is it to go back 1 freaking page!? If u did u would see I've replied to over 2 people! I'm tired of this! >:(

[TheImmortalWeapon]

@gagme24 why the fuck would i go back "one freaking page" exactly? Honestly, im replying to you, not those two random people.

[Oneupgamer]

@gagme24 well you would have to learn how to interpreat english from eletrical impulses from the brain but it,s possible

[rayoup11]

nintendo wii 2

[NOOBCAKEvv]

OCZ Nia, fully supported and retailed. You can find them on amazon.

[Mounce2]

wait, did I just hear "And 'BRAIN CONTROL' devices" . . .. . .? O_O Not a good thing!

[gixer912]

... you control the virtual stuff. not  omg im not buying this, someone is going to control my mind aaahh!!!

[Mounce2]

No shit sherlock, I was just making a joke about what he said, sounding as if they're speaking of with this technology being improved, so will the possibility that people will use the same technology for BRAIN CONTROL DEVICES!!!

Jeez!..... Take a joke/hint of sarcasm!

[gixer912]

O..... sryz

[Mounce2]

NO PROBLEMZ HUN :3!!!! <3~

[cuervo1957]

i believe he said "brain controlled" devices. Big difference.

[Mounce2]

It's really hard to tell with his voice the 'Possible '-ed' is silent, or just not there, lol

[Enkei1989]

This should be out already !!

[ebonifragaria]

NO FREAKIN WAY!!! That's AMAZING! argh where do i sign up to play it? XD

[hybridthehobo]

That's NOT Garry's Mod! Someone made a custom map in hammer and they are playing it in HL2.

[OredhotchilipeppersO]

GARRYSMOD!! yey

[daydream605]

lol is that gmod?

[Ericisawesome1999]

no it isnt its called nauro sky on backround at 1:10

[toadster84]

lol is that garrys mods XD

[PS11833]

yea :D

[fruitygumball]

imagine if you can play sex game in your partner that will show on screen. They should make it one or multiplayer game.

[fruitygumball]

Wow imagine if you can type things with your mind. It will be so fast. It will be so easy for personal organizing and planning as well. I think I had the most creative things in my mind that I couldn't express b/c of the lack of art skills, but this machine can really be useful to better express ourselves.

[theconqueror]

WARNING !!!: this may cause brain damage - i know the best game for this, 2 people, 1 solid object, both people must focus there mind to smash the other opponet with the object, so there minds would be trying to over power each other, who ever gets smashed by the object loses

[LayLow2K7]

Your wrong.

[nmacoy]

The Forrce Is SSStrrrrroongghhha With You My Child

[guitarbandit90]

That has potential to make some sweet-ass Star Wars games. :D

[vlaxatron]

true that man

[GameCenter2009]

this would problemly have some sort of horid after effect anyone heard of the virturl boy

[LilMissRandom109]

Our teacher explained it to us. He is going to get us one of these games.

[bluejaysj]

Where can i purchase one of these games?

please reply!!!!

[dumbdude007]

its its some type of half life 2 mod

i think its actually gmod. but not sure

they may be just implimenting controls technology

[marksmen00]

its g mod

[dumbdude007]

thats what i think

could be a gmod mod lol

[ninjafireball]

Please do not read this: ARG! u read my mind!!! :D

[mikejaxer]

Use the force!!!

[Triforceformer]

Playing a Matrix game with this would be SWEET.

[MarkTeePee]

Please make Heroes the videogame, where you play as Sylar! Ripping peoples headsoff with your mind :O

[WlLKO]

Yeah Sweet! Or Star wars Jedi!

Now thats a mind trick I would not mind seeing!!!!

[williamtom0]

everyone knows that tv-show and movie based games are crap, so it would be more like, make the guy fall over dead with your mind

[drkdragon01]

lol half life lol

[MotherLodeSims2]

Not half-life, Garry's mod!

[nickclark100]

look forward to see what happens with this technology over the next 10/20 years hopfully when im old and moldy with this stuff i can still score with a hot chicky babe. Thats what my thoughts wanna play with!!!! Some body please invent an electronic penis pleasure sheath with thought action electrodes.

[InferiusFurious]

HALF LIFE 2 OMGGGG  GMOD!!!!1one11!1

[littleims10]

hahaha

[danm36]

I thought I recognised the desk on the thumbnail.

[TiagoTiagoT]

somthing like CellFactor:Revolution would be a nice thing to combine with this...

[DarkZholt]

That'z interezting

Imagine playing a Ztar Warz game, whit WiiMote for the lightsaber and your mind for the force.

Kool

What are theze moronz argueing about -___-

hat a bunch of loozerz...

[williamtom0]

no your a loser, you cant even go 5 characters without typing a fucking z

[ahninjas]

Are you people seriously arguing over American politics on a Youtube video for games?

Besides, the user who made the original CIA comment is from Uruguay.

[gregnator]

he is playing GMOD OMG HAHAHAHA COOL

[captainwillies69]

all i see is the government abusing this.

[FancyFeast3]

they should use this to record dreams...especially nightmares...and then you play them after you wake up.

[JTC545]

sad thing is that if they do make VG's with your mind its gonna cost more then 900$

[freddiegreen15]

Actually, that is too expensive. Implementing a client side of these Mind recievers into a Mobile Phone is said to add an additional $10-20 on the cost of the phone.

[streetough]

It's funny how political comments can get over videogames...Iraq wars and American history. Maybe I need to watch the video again cuzz I thought this was a video about controlling video games with the mind, not World politics.

[Ninjutsuryu]

isnt that game garrys mod? lol

[Chr452]

Awesome!!! MUST HAVE!!!

[TWOC2689]

imagine Playing Psi-Ops with this. FREAKY!

[keldagrim666]

i wanna blow up shit with my mind :D

[Cirvantes123]

That is amazing, I can't wait until this becomes mainstream.

[DjNemes1s]

I'm scared

[someman7]

You put it on your head, it reads your brainwaves (which are in essence, electro-magnetic signals), and interprets patterns you have associated with an action, and then does those actions in VR.

Each time you think of "lifting", your brain produces waves, those waves are recorded, interpreted, and animation is executed (ie lifting a rock).

Nothing scary. As long as they don't implant it IN the brain to boost the signal :-O

[endrizo]

mmmh imagine what the CIA is going to do with this.Subniminal messages and thoughs scanning to say the least,no no thank you not for me.

I am a diehard gamer but this is too much.

[frenzal01]

america must be pretty fucked up if u have to worry about your own government so much that your afraid to embrace new technology

[KnightmareNC]

Well guess what, America has been fucked up for quite some time now.

Or have you been asleep?

[frenzal01]

Yes i just woke up and on the news america just killed 4 women and children to 'protect the world from terror'.

Good work you douches

[Robotocracy]

You can't blame all of America for Bush. In the 2000 election the majority of voters voted against him, but unfortunately he still became president due to the long-obsolete electoral college system.

Bush is one of the worst, if not the worst president in American history. If you're judging all of America based on one bad administration, I suppose I can see where you're getting your views from, but I would have to say that you are sadly mistaken.

[dmalone569]

Just because he is Austrailian doesn't mean he decides what the fuck that country does.

Typical fucking American.

[Robotocracy]

Just because I'm American doesn't mean I decide what my country does.

Typical sanctimonious prick.

[dmalone569]

I was replying to your comment saying the Austrailian was wrong since his country was part of the invading coalition.

Typical fucking American.

[Robotocracy]

You totally missed the point. You are an absolute fucking moron.

[dmalone569]

You the one who missed the fucking point.

Have fun defending your country's war crimes on YouTube.

[Robotocracy]

Unless you're lying on your profile, you come from Ireland. Ireland puts about 170 children a year into adult jails. Your country allows nonjury "special courts" to be set up in order to circumvent habeaus corpus.

America is not the only country with problems you self-righteous asshole. Have fun defending your country's crimes on YouTube.

[dmalone569]

Every country has fucking problems.

Unless you're lying on your profile, you come from the US.

Heh. Heh heh heh.

A AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

[Fleants]

sorry, I'd listen to what you have to say about my country but my dick's too big.

[2redpens]

Oh fuck off and find somewhere else to rant about COUNTRIES

[logicutz]

oh this is going to be so coool :D

[supermondo100]

Imagine this as an MMORPG, that'd be cool. I don't care about "ruining the fun" of controllers like blasphemymaster said, I think mind control would be way more fun :D

[haui1982]

the good thing is that this mid controller will be run with ANY game because you can assign your mid signals to specified keys.

[xphilbertx]

imagine adding augmented reality itll be like the Matrix!

[Samage89]

Read the thoughts of enemies and creating larger spells by thinking harder lol

[dakiro222]

well, this is the future and we are there :)

anyway, that is what any decent sf writer has been saying for some time now.

[fourwind]

KICK ASSSSSS.

[343GuiltysparkHALO]

GARRYS MOD!
