NeuroSky - Anyone have it or heard about it?

Here is the link to their website: http://www.neurosky.com/

A quick run down: You place this device on your head, it reads your brain activity and you can control things with your mind in a simple computer game.

This seems really neat to play around with.

I was wondering if anyone has picked this up already or if any of you have even heard about it.

I saw it on our CNN news feed at work today: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/30/...n=Feed:+rss/cnn_topstories+(RSS:+Top+Stories)

Whoa, that looks pretty sweet, and it's only $200?

For some reason I have flashes of Batman Forever going through my head when I think about this...

Ha ha ha...way to bring back images of Jim Carey in spandex...

There are several neuro controllers like this out now. OCZ's Neural Impulse Actuator came out a year or two ago. And it's cheaper.

I got flashes of 'Back to the Future'. Where the kid says, 'You have to use your hands for this thing?'

Never thought I would see the day. My kids will probably say that when I show them my 'retro' PS4!

This is all very strange to me, considering how fast technology is advancing.

"Retro" PS4 - Love it!

It is an interesting thought though. Remember the rumor about the Wii being a strictly virtual console? It's possible now, though rather cost prohibitive. Good VR rigs still cost thousands.
