Monkeys have learned to play a computer game just by thinking about it! Imagine the possibilities...Starcraft, Quake, Counter-Strike, no mouses or keyboards needed! Here's a link for the story: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/06/020618073233.htm
Yea that was a cool show, and Mechwarrior, that was a cool game Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Wow. This could lead to some real breakthoughs. Think of a game like morrowind with a thought controlled interface Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!. Seriously though, can you imagine walking into your house and being able to control everything via thought? Want the lights to dim..just think about it....hmmm... In 'minority report' everything was voice activated, but I like the idea of thought controlled more.
If a monkey can move a cursor, than surely a person can move a synthetic muscle. Even if the interface doesn't work the other way... prosthetics anyone?
So no one is interested in prosthetics that are no differetn from your original limb, or controlling a 500-ton war machine with your thoughts?
