    well it seem they are trying to make us to use our brain as controller with a head set that read our brain wave.... kindda how Professor X use cerebro to find mutant.

    well the as intresting as it seems, its still pretty pale.... i mean controlling video game character with your brain? whare is the fun in that...... i mean its not like the game can send any feed back to our brain to simulate reality (maybe this is the start).... for now this kindda look more like a gimmick like Wii Remote, Project Natal and PS3 Eyes.

    so what do you think about this "new" controller?

    edit: before i forget, it also read your emotion.... its will be handly in a MMO...but i wonder how it going to be implemented in a RPG....

    Several of the reviewers actually mentioned that, even though the device is marketed towards gamers. (supposedly it shaves off around 170ms from your reaction time, which makes a huge difference in multiplayer FPS games). It will be interesting either way.

    before that can happen, you need to learn how to recall your action like you learn how to walk..... when i read about it, it seem learning to use it will be hard....

    Yeah well what interests me is things in where games have button mashing to it, will stronger minds yield stronger reactions?

    I would imagine its the rate of signals, not the 'force' of them as it were.

    I see, well this should be awesome if it works how it should, no longer will 14 year olds with rapidfire controllers be in the top
