Controlling Your Computer with Your Brain

The B1FFMaN sent this article in - I'm not sure how to title it. It's /not/ about your computer controlling your brain or anything. What it is about is some interesting research that has gone on into detection of brain activity, and interpretation of that. So, that could mean sitting in front of your machine and thinking what you wanted to type, or open, or whatever - it could also mean that people stricken with certain types of paralysis could use computers more easily.

Ugh, horrible

Warning - unabashed katzbashing ahead

Just think of the future implications: what if you get paralyzed by watching another round of thoughtless, contentless drivel by Jon Katz ? Then, you sit in front of the monitor, unable to move, your mouth drooping, hands limp at your sides - and all you can think of is "Katz". This is all Katz' fault. Now, the device interprets your thoughts, deciding that you want more of Katz - and brings dozens of browser windows into the foreground, each one displaying a different Katz article. Can you imagine the torment ? You try to scream, but no sounds can be produced..

Just horrible.
