Mind Controlled Video Games? I'm in.

BY Christopher Winn — 10/08/2008

I'm a subscriber to Wired Magazine. I like technology and things that are "the future."

They wrote about something that I didn't really think was going to happen anytime soon: Forget your keyboard and mouse, there's a PC game controller that reads your mind. I'll say it again: There's a mind reading video game controller.

 

Emotiv's EPOCEmotiv's EPOC

 It was produced by a company called Emotiv. They call it the EPOC, and it's pictured at left.

Presently it works only for PC, and comes with free software that will adapt this 16 sensored mind reading contraption to any PC title.
 

Tim, my roomate was unsure about having something read his mind.  Have my mind read for $300? I think it's fantastic.
