Mind-Reading Game Controller

This is an outstanding device, mind-reading game controller. I think every game player dreamed this kind of controller once in a while whenever his/her player in the game does not act in accordane with his/her intent. Probably this controller is an invention in germ but I hope someday we can play games without roaring and casting controllers away hehe :)

The new video-game controller from Emotiv Systems is a wireless headset with 16 embedded sensors that register electrical signals from the brain. The device can detect users' facial expressions and emotions, potentially giving digital characters the personalities of their creators. Once the headset is calibrated to a player's brain signals, the player can push, pull, lift, and drop virtual objects using thoughts alone. The device comes with a game designed to explore the possibilities of brain-controlled gaming, but it can be adapted to any PC game.

I think that this controller is very interesting computer game device. The user of this device will get the real enjoy of the game. But another way, this invention will lead to robot or cyboger in future. The robocop in movie will come true?
