    Talking Controlling Computers with your mind!

    Emotiv apparently has created a headset (reasonably affordable too at only $300) that allows you control what the computer does. There is a demo of it in use on TED.com.
    (http://www.ted.com/talks/tan_le_a_he...rainwaves.html)

    and you can purchase it (if your interested in doing so) at the company's website: http://www.emotiv.com/

    Just thought I'd share this.

    Bought the kids a toy last Christmas that allowed mind control of an electric motor. Pretty bizarre to see that in action.

    Is it Linux Compatible?

    This has been on the market for awhile and does the exact same thing. I was thinking the product you mentioned was more of a breakthrough, but it doesn't seem to be.

    I wish it would work great in GIMP, there always seems to be a loss of quality in what I do from the transition from my brain to my hand.

    Re: Controlling Computers with your mind!

    With my luck I'd buy something like that, and during the install process:

    Code:
     
    INSTALLATION NOT COMPLETED.
    HUMAN RESOURCE HAS INSUFFICIENT CPU SPEED.
    PLEASE UPGRADE HUMAN TO SERVICE PACK IV AND REINSTALL.
