Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown

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. "

This is not, in itself, new

Kevin Warwick at the University of Reading has been working in this field for years, mainly with flight simulators. Considering this is a research project, and not a commercial or military one, I fail to see why this is news. Is it just another example of Americans plagiarising someone else's work and claiming it as their own?

You're in Minnesota. That's instant punishment. If it weren't for their hockey team, it would have been labelled 'Hell' a long time ago.
