“This is the tip of the iceberg for what is possible,” said Tan Le, another of Emotiv's co-founders, during a recent press demonstration. “There will be a convergence of gesture-based technology and the brain as a new interface - the Holy Grail is the mind.”

We can be sure a current sitting President will never have one. There are no thoughts present in his head to lock onto.

Wow. How can something this cool be ruined by political banter?

Then came the motion-sensing Wii remote. Now get
ready for another radical and rather unsettling leap in video games
technology: thought control. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/gadgets_and_gaming/article4354041.ece">Satoru Iwata, the president and chief executive of Nintendo - which is
expected to sell about 25million units of its successful Wii video games
console this financial year - has no doubts about the next gaming boom. “As
soon as we think something in our brain, it will appear within a video
game,” he told The Times in an exclusive interview.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/gadgets_and_gaming/article4354041.ece">“You'll probably need to wear some kind of hat or helmet or something.”

of Craig Thomas's bestselling 1977 novel Firefox, about a mind-reading
Soviet fighter aircraft - is already coming true: the world's first
thought-controlled game is expected to be launched by the Sydney company
Emotiv by the end of this year.
