Gamers take note of this one! Emotiv Systems Inc. is about to release a headset that can detect conscious thoughts and expressions as well as "non-conscious emotions" by reading electrical signals around the brain. I will be paying attention to see if this product lives up to its billing. If it does, watch for this headset to be quickly adapted for military uses. Can you imagine how far reaching the impact of this product will be once it is totally perfected? I mean, sure remote military devices will take on a whole new dimension, but how will this impact other things like how we communicate over the web? Will this eventually become the main way we interact with all software? Could it mean the begining of the end for the mouse and keyboard? How will this change training and brain development? A product like this, at the very least, begins to boggle the mind. Today's Odd News Award winner.
