Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tank-i-need-a-program dept.

Bob Sherpowski writes "According to CBBC News, they have come up with a 'game' that you control directly with your brain waves. University College Dublin researchers have designed a game where you are trying to get a monster to walk across a tightrope - if he leans one way or the other you have to concentrate on a box on either side of the tightrope to make him tip the other way. It's still in research and it's not for sale yet but it's the first step. "

    I think this is great research, it could give paraplegics (sp?) etc the possibility to walk again with mechanical limbs.

    Or am I wrong ??
