controlling computer with brain is stupid, it happens sometimes to me to want to play a computer game, watch tv and eat at the same time, with a computer like this I can either play computer game or do the other 2 things, so id like to stick with the touchpad

@machinevolution And then one day everyone use the app and have computer do everything for us, literally. Then later on, Steve Job demand money or he will deny the consumer the app that control their breathing. Kind of fucked up, don't you think? They denied Mozilla Firefox too. So yeah, Apple is worse than Microsoft. :)

Possibly.

There are similar headgears that record what you think for a certain event , and you can trigger the event by thinking of the same thing. For example , the computer would play a musical note for just so long , so your brain can remember it. You would try to bring up the thought of the musical note , and the musical note would play.To change the note , would take more variation , and the computer would have to study the difference , but it would learn after a while.

@MisterElliott89 That would be so great. I totally support that.

disapointing thing is that it still can diferentiate only between two states - active/non-active.

i have an idea:

could this one day have applications as a musical instrument? to convert musical thoughts directly into tone and melody, bypassing all the technical considerations of not being able to play the cello, could i still play a cello just by wearing one of these hats plugged into a speaker?

The headset being developed by Emotiv probably uses a combination of EEG, EMG, and EOG to achieve external control, and does not strictly rely on the electrical impulses that are used to control facial muscles.

This looks so cool! Cant wait till it becomes portable and i can use it!
