Mind Controlled game controller

This device is made by Emotiv Systems, but it is not endorsed by any major game software makers yet.

Brainwave can be used to control other electronics, e.g. in the gear shift on this concept bike. http://youtu.be/lWzdWMapJ-c

Those who cares about mind-computer interface should also watch the following 3 part Wall Street Journal interview regarding how computers control bionic arms. It is long but insightful and it helps you look into what is here now and what lies ahead in the future.

Why is the audio on this video 100x lower than anything else on youtube? I couldn't even hear most of it at max volume on my 7.2 audio system..

[cplai]

I know the volume is low compared to other clips. Also try the little speaker volume icon below the playback window. I can hear everything quite clearly at max volume.

The lineout from the DVR to the computer has weak signal. The low record level was caused by hardware problem. Perhaps the cable is too long or something.  In more recent postings, I have tried to boost the audio volume using the clip editing software, but it could only increase 50% at best.

TechNow's Scott McGrew was afraid to try it (my translation), so they had "this guy" try it. Where is Scott's sense of adventure? That's the kind of device that you're not going to have a feel for until you try it. It must feel like having a whole new abilibty. I hope this technology survives and I agree with FrozenProk that $300 is pretty cheap.

I have added something new to the description that you may be interested. Click "more info" on the right.

300$ is nothing if you think about it

[kitsunestrife]

@LyIVch nice pun :)

[kingmath666]

[TheArkaydian]

So urm... when is this going on sale?

[0squishymonster0]

wow bet you ccould pewn some newbz wiff dat

[TheLovesoul1]

@cplai what do you think of the device i think is cool.

[WeLiveForParkour]

@Xadreos but what if you wanna do something like a frontflip haha

[Xadreos]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could combine this technology with kinect? Then you could think something and the game would react, or you could perform an action to reinforce what you want the character to do. I think it adds an extra layer to the full immersion experience. =P

my brain will burned out if i use the headset for hours! However its an amazing technology hope to see it in the market soooooon
