The final frontier is no longer space. It's the mind!

i'm sure that stephen hawking will be continuously accosted by not-so-subliminal advertisements as he is walking around and interacting directly with the physical world via his mind controlled exoskeleton....

Making cubes disappear
I thought this video was going to be cool... and it was! I guess I can control my computer without the headset thingy.

We talk about this post on episode eight of my podcast, scienceTASTIC. Check it out.

Wouldn't it be more meaningful to begin with application to the medical field? Disabled individuals? War veterans? Beuller? Beuller? Anyone?

Wonderful, fascinating technology! To read the mind! But what happens when we can begin to control others minds by stimulating their electrical impulses from our own headsets? Will we have Professor X extracting confessions from prisoners in the secret-secret (as opposed to secret and recently closed) CIA prisons? Oh no! The future is too complicated! I'm getting out while I can!

Again though, the imagination (from comics and science fiction to Tan Le's dinner chats) precedes reality! Are humans ready for this responsibility? Our thoughts immediately manifested into the real world? Sometimes I don't like the way my subconscious mind moves. Should I give it such free reign?

Couldn't the machine just be reading the activity of the extra-ocular, temporal or scalp muscles?

How to develop processes that are unexpected by the computer? So instead of working with the computer to activate a set command (rotate ccw, disappear), you are working with the computer to create a new command.
