Emotiv's Mind-Reading Headset

Moving objects and controlling computers with nothing more than a thought has long been the purview of science-fiction. With an inexpensive, lightweight headset, Emotiv hopes to make that notion a reality for everybody.

So, how many of you are dumb enough to think that the military hasn't been working on similar technology for years? Of course, the ultimate goal for the military, is to create the "perfect" genetically engineered soldier!

@CarboneCZ This thing has many applications, you could turn an enemy into a nervous wreck, they have made this stuff for a reason, just like cloud computing, oh yes upload all your data, into our hard drive, just incase we need to look at it...same with this data, soon if they get their way, hard drives wont exist, all your personel data will be uploaded, just like your brain waves, it wont be long before they incorperate this headset into your laptop or pc or phone,they know how you are feeling

@KinG4L Now this would be pushed in new ways, in TV or DVD etc, to enhance to program in question by emitters in the TV or set top box, these will be able to enduce emotional states relative to the film you watch, say its a scary film, they will enduce fear or emotions near to that level to make the film feel very real indeed.. now this has a down side, this technology could be used to manipulate populations,more so when they are pushing propaganda when whating to go to war or some other garbage

@KinG4L once online back up systems are created and downloaded updades are available, the data base can be used to average out the set frequencies for emotions,people's brains use,ELF or extremely low frequency waves, the frequencies this head set and software pick up. Now if you introduce an ELF wave towards the brain from an outside source or transmitter, the brain can indeed lock onto this frequency and follow it up and down enducing many emotional states, even thinking you have seen things

@rev087

it's not that much about the device itself. It's the software that can decipher the seemingly random input.

@npaugh1 Technology will keep going, regardless of our level of self control (at least that's the current pattern). "Know thyself", the old maxim goes. We can't guide our "fate" until we can guide ourselves.
