A neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain will go on sale later this year.
"It picks up electrical activity from the brain and sends wireless signals to a computer," said Tan Le, president of US/Australian firm Emotiv.
"It allows the user to manipulate a game or virtual environment naturally and intuitively," she added.
The headset could detect more than 30 different expressions, emotions and actions.
They include excitement, meditation, tension and frustration; facial expressions such as smile, laugh, wink, shock (eyebrows raised), anger (eyebrows furrowed); and cognitive actions such as push, pull, lift, drop and rotate (on six different axis).
Gamers are able to move objects in the world just by thinking of the action.

You said throw charge a grenade until it blows up in your hand.
No I didn't.
I'm almost positive you did.

The warioland game wasn't bad, but the system was shitty as hell.

I saw some Virtual Boyz at dollar stores hanging around for 10 bucks.
But I'm like fuck paying 10 bucks at a dollar store so I never tried.

I think the Virtual Boy forced you to take a break every 1 minute so your eyes did'nt fuck up.

This will be just like Dreamcast, MiniDisc Players and Blu-Ray.

MiniDisc Players
Oi!
They were very handy before we had MP3 players

You didn't actually invest did you? It's so obvious when something is going to fail.
FAIL FAIL FAIL.
22 February 2008, 10:03 UTC#13
They were small, you could easily put songs on the discs and remove them + mp3 players didn't become effective until ~3-4 years after I purchased mine meaning being able to contain more data than like 56mb. WINRAR

Where is it now Ben?
Exactly. Technology should never have a 2 year lifespan.
22 February 2008, 10:12 UTC#15
I used it for 3 years! And it was cheap when I got it. I'm still proud to have owned that Sony. So there. Your evil mind fiddling ways have no effect on me

Lol I had a dreamcast, thought it was a quality machine that suffered from poor marketing.
I actually cracked mine out 2 days ago, it has some great games.

I've taken a vow never to even look at a Dreamcast again since your pre-teen sister beat me at Dead Or Alive.
The memories are just too painful.
