Gaming by brainwaves alone

(Credit: Emotiv Systems)

It may look like a medieval torture device, but the headgear pictured here is designed for gaming, of all things. And if you're paranoid about EMFs eating away at your brain, avert your eyes from this item now.

Called "Project Epoc," this neuro-technology apparatus includes "sensors that tune into your brain's natural electric signals, detecting player thoughts, feelings and expression," according to Ubergizmo. It also connects to consoles and computers, supposedly allowing your thought pulses to influence if not control the game at hand. (We're not making this up.)

But if you're really this hard-core, you should probably be looking at this monster helmet. At least you can't forget to take it off before leaving the house.

Lol, it may be cool using this for a game, but it makes you wonder what the future has in store for a more advance generation of this device. Just imagine a sony rootkit in one of this things that sends information about how much you like or play certain games.
