Playing Games With One's Brainwaves

PolloDiablo writes "Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have reported success with recording the signals a brain sends out to the other parts of the body and using them to play a game. The subjects had to move a cursor towards a target in a one-dimensional environment without using any bodypart, just pure brainpower. One subject had a success rate of 100%. This could prove a breakthrough in the use of prosthetics. The next step is repeating the same test in a 2-dimensional environment. Similar tests have been done with monkeys before but never with humans."

Excuse me? Where do you get off calling me a pig? If you're pissed off enough, you'd be suprised how much energy you can build up inside. And that energy can be put to constructive use.

While you're at bashing at Americans for no particular reason, could you please give Microsoft a little attention as well? It wouldn't be fair to MS to be forgotten when being rash and narrowminded. /empaler*
