@danielwerre It's essentially proof of concept. Concentrate on anything at all and the ball rises. It only reads one type of brain activity at the moment. Give it a decade or so and you should be able to control more things with an MMI. Gotta learn more about the brain and how to read different types of activity first.

@Freecell82, I'm a neurologist. Full mind control will never happen.

I can take your word that full control over something like this will never happen, but what about artificial limbs? There was already that case of monkeys moving a robotic arm.

Is that possible because we already have arms or what? Or is that something else altogether?

I would still love to get one. I just looked at the website and the page for it is gone.

I tried this at Comic Con in SanDiego this summer and thought it was really cool. Theres a lot of talk of the Big 3 adding something like this to their next system to tell when you're frustrated or stressed for shooter games or sports games. I think its an awesome concept and is amazing that something this advanced is here.
