I came across this article, it amused me and scared me at the same time. This is the kind of shit that makes me paranoid. They've come up with a computer that can read your thoughts and make it do what you want it to do..etc. What else are they going to invent (or perhaps they have already invented, and is hidden everywhere spying at individuals??). Soon no one will have privacy, what are we to do then? I would like to think that when I'm in the comfort of my home, it's just me, and I could do as I please without being watched.

"Da Massive writes with a link to ComputerWorld coverage of a unique gadget shown at this past week's CeBit show. The company g.tec was showing off a brain/computer interface (BCI) in one corner of the trade hall. The rig, once placed on your head, detects the brain's voltage fluctuations and can respond appropriately. This requires training, where
"the subject responds to commands on a computer screen, thinking 'left' and 'right' when they are instructed to do so ... Another test involves looking at a series of blinking letters, and thinking of a letter when it appears."
Once the system is trained, you can think letters at the machine and 'type' via your thoughts. Likewise, by thinking directions you can move objects around onscreen. The article provides some background on the history of g.tec's BCI, and suggests possible uses for the technology in the near future."
