I Can Read Your Mind.. *dramatic music*

I'm not really sure what I want to do with this.. but given enough $$$ I would love to
buy a few nice toys.  Maybe for christmas I'll spend the $500 for the dev kit.

But.. here's some basic info I found really interesting.

Let's start off with a ted.com link, since that website just owns..and you should all
regularly lurk on there to see what they release.  "Click Me"

In theory, you buy this little headset, which costs around $300 or so.  (bound to go down in price).
Emotiv seems to be the biggest player in this area.  The headset reads your brainwaves.

Now, it's not *actually* reading your mind, but it does detect patterns.  So if someone
is concentrating really hard on something.. or thinking about it in a certain way, it.. in theory ...
can detect that and can be programmed to react.

Emotiv has a nice little mini market where you can publish your apps.  So.. I *think* about
it, and I can flip the next, or previous picture in an image gallery.  There's a game where the surrounding
changes based on my mood.

The potential implications of this sort of technology is just amazing... I can't wait to see it a bit more mainstream.

forget the ps3 move, wii... you have physical movement + mind and emotional input that would affect the gameplay.

You could in theory make it so you walk into the house.. think about turning on the light.. lights are on.. think about watching tv... and the tv responds and turns on....

man.. I really can't wait to play with this.  Anyone want to donate one of these to me?  Also, if you have any great ideas..feel free to comment, would love to hear some feedback/thoughts on this.

On a side note... this was totally supposed to be science fiction... I know its not quiet there yet.. but thinking about something..and having it respond.. we're a few steps away from creating artificial ESP.

PS.  Best thing I like about Emotiv right now.. is that they're working on a Linux version*before* looking at mac.
