Merger Of Mind & Machine

[Mojochi]

Beyond Boundries

By the renowned Brazilian Neuroscientist Dr. Miguel A. L. Nicolelis introduces us to the potential world of brainwave control over machines that "will allow the paralyzed to walk and portends a future of mind melds and thought downloads"

This guy is actually doing this stuff
How frigging COOL!

He is literally mapping out brainwave patters such that we will be able to control machine technology with our brains! His biggest project is a specially designed suit which would house a paraplegic's body, which would then give them the ability to once again maneuver like a fully functional person

This could yield limitless possibilities

Kind of bears an eerie reminiscence to the Bruce Willis movie Surrogates though. LOL

Thoughts?

Did Nintendo make a device that used brainwaves to control video games?

I recall watching something on TV about a paraplegic who got an implant with contacts to specific parts of his brain. He is able to move a mouse cursor by thinking about it. I'm not sure if he is any good at games though.
