Neural Interface for Gaming Getting Closer?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the think-your-way-victory dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mercury News is reporting that a neural interface for gaming may be in the not-so-distant future thanks to at least two start-ups developing this technology. From the article: 'The goal is to create game console add-ons costing less than $100. Some of the game play features can be conscious -- such as forcing someone to concentrate in order to drive a car faster or toss something at an enemy. Others can be subconscious. The game could slow down, for instance, if the sensors pick up an increase in anxiety, Lee said. The company hasn't set a timetable for the product launches of its customers.'"

    Seriously, I have no clue what he even said. But I work for the Antimatter Association of Regulus 5, and I'm just doing my job here. Whew! That was a close one.
