Headset that reads your brainwaves

[dugnsuz]

Hi all,
Found this on the TED website...

"Tan Le's astonishing new computer interface reads its user's brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications."

If it were to read my brainwaves it would be akin to taking a dark frame with a CCD :shrug::help::D

Wow. This is an amazing step in technology. Imagine how this is going to change the world of gaming for one, let alone all the other things it can do. I couldn't help myself clapping when he made the box dissapear.
On the other hand, in years to come, when this sort of thing is commonplace in thew home, were going to have a hell of a lot more lazy people lol. no more getting up to turn off the lights.
Awesome.

Blimey, that is awesome.

Technology is moving so fast it's almost impossible to keep up with the changes.

I wonder what will be available in the next 5 - 10 years.

Note: he says "she".
This is the next step towards trying to read a mans brain. I can just see it now, "No dear, you do not look fat in that dress..., compared to a beached...." POW!! right in the earhole. Destroy that technology before its too late!!! :rofl: :rofl::rofl:
