'Mind Gaming' Could Enter Market This Year

An anonymous reader writes "In an adapted version of the Harry Potter video game, players lift boulders and throw lightning bolts using only their minds. Just as physical movement changed the interface of gaming with Nintendo's Wii, the power of the mind may be the next big thing in video games. And it may come soon. Emotiv, a company based in San Francisco, says its mind-control headsets will be on shelves later this year, along with a host of novel "biofeedback" games developed by its partners. Several other companies — including EmSense in Monterey, California; NeuroSky in San Jose, California; and Hitachi in Tokyo — are also developing technology to detect players brainwaves and use them in next-gen video games."

and people worry about comcast?

Comcast is testing people&age detection cameras on the cable box- so if the box senses children only, it won't show explicit material, and further it can suggest programming based on determinations about the audience that is there.

How many generations of this 'game controller' can exist before you don't want to play that way anymore... because you just don't know how good it has become.
or worse- you DO know how good it has become...
