This is a very cool development in the area of brain-machine interfaces, and will probably propel artificial limb technology by leaps and bounds. It will be wonderful… until the machines rise up and overthrow us.

It’s really only a matter of time before this kind of technology is being implanted rather than worn. And then… here come the cyborgs.

Scientists have developed a headset that uses your brain activity in order to emulate keyboard presses for moving your Second Life avatar around. There’s an included video too. It still seems a little on the primitive side, but I’d still love to try it out myself.
Oh, yeah, and my obligatory “cyborgs are coming and will conquer you blah, blah, blah” comment goes here.

Scientists are making progress on neural devices that can translate the thoughts of a paralyzed person into driving action for a prosthetic device. There’s actually been several approaches to this in the past, but the folks at MIT are proposing a unified algorithm, which is exciting, although it probably will accelerate our subjugation by our cyborg descendents.

“Researchers have enabled a 14-year-old to play a two-dimensional video game using signals from his brain instead of his hands.Teenage boys and computer games go hand-in-hand. Now, a St. Louis-area teenage boy and a computer game have gone hands-off, thanks to a unique experiment conducted by a team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, and engineers at Washington University in St. Louis. The boy, a 14-year-old who suffers from epilepsy, is the first teenager to play a two-dimensional video game, Space Invaders, using only the signals from his brain to make movements.”
We are one step closer to building our cyborg overlords.
