Neuroheadset..The Mind Control

Mind control, as seen in movies, may soon come to a brain near you. It is now possible to control game characters with your thoughts.

The Emotiv EPOC neuroheadset is designed by a brain trust, including co-founders Tan Le and Nam Ho, two Vietnamese scientists, to give gaming to more a realistic feel. The uses are not limited to games; they are also to help disabled patients to navigate a wheelchair ; while others to express the creativity and artistic work.







This device detects neurons that tell our hands and legs to move. By firing a specific set of neurons, you can move a character, work a set of spells and kill your opponent just by thinking about it.



While the system isn't perfect(not as easy as we make it sound), it is a step in the right direction especially if it can help paraplegics to walk.
