 Move Over Wii-Mote Last October, Trend Hunter profiled Thought Controlled Video Games (See the Video). Soon you’ll be able to use this technology in your home! Neurosky has just released photos of their prototyped mind reading game controller. With focussed thoughts the user can effectively control movements and game play action. Many other applications could exsist for this type of technology, microsurgery to military hardware, or maybe Trendhunter article submissions. If you like this, you’ll also enjoy our video of the Thought Controlled Robot.  Behind the mask is a sensor that touches the user’s forehead and reads the brain’s electrical signals, then sends them to a wireless receiver inside the saber, which lights up when the user is concentrating. The player maintains focus by channeling thoughts on any fixed mental image, or thinking specifically about keeping the light sword on. When the mind wanders, the wand goes dark.
Engineers at NeuroSky Inc. have big plans for brain wave-reading toys and video games. They say the simple Darth Vader game — a relatively crude biofeedback device cloaked in gimmicky garb — portends the coming of more sophisticated devices that could revolutionize the way people play.
