Mind-Controlled Videogames Become RealityPicture this: You put on a headset and relax your mind. Soon you begin controlling anobject with your thoughts.This mind-power trick may seem far-fetched, like something from a late-night sciencefiction movie or the back of an old comic book. But several companies are bringing thistechnology to life with affordable headsets that determine a persons state of mind.The gadgets translate brain waves into digital information and beam it wirelessly tocomputers or other devices.So far the headsets are confined to mostly digital interfaces-videogames and movieswhose plots can be altered with the mind-although in some cases real-world objects havebeen used, like a pair of catlike ears that move depending on a persons mood. Thetechnology, still in its infancy, has the potential to not only entertain but to possiblyimprove education and strengthen mental health, some doctors say. numantra.comLink: 214.635.2300
