New video game literally a mind game

October 9, 2008
MAKUHARI, Japan – Willpower is set to replace fast fingers in a new video game in which players move characters through a headset that monitors their brain waves.
California-based NeuroSky Inc. showed off the new headset — named Mindset — at the Tokyo Game Show, the industry’s biggest exhibition which opened near the Japanese capital Thursday.
The Mindset monitors whether the player is focused or relaxed and accordingly moves the character on a personal computer.
“We brought this to the game show as a new interface, a new platform for game creators,” NeuroSky managing director Kikuo Ito told AFP.
Children’s games using the system will hit the US market next year, Ito said.
“We are exploring the use of brain waves in the game industry because games are fun and so close to people,” he said.
“Once people get used to the idea of using brain waves for various applications, I hope we will see various products using this technology,” he said.
In distance learning courses, for example, teachers could monitor whether students were attentive, Ito said.
Train drivers and motorists could use it to judge their stress levels and alertness, Ito added.
Japan’s Keio University put similar technology to use this year to let a paralysed man take a virtual stroll on the popular Second Life website, with the machine reading what he wanted to do with his immobile legs.
NeuroSky said the Mindset could help people with other types of disabilities.
“For people with difficulty speaking, this can be a tool for communication,” Ito said.

Oh you bet there’s going to be more products using this technology Mr. Ito. In a dictatorship, this technology would be used to make sure you have no dissident thoughts, as soon as you do, you’ll disapear.
I’m convinced, this company is a cover used to introduce the technology, perfect it and then apply it for dictatorship, you can’t make it more obvious.

A lot of good could come from this product, however i can only forsee a dark future for this new mind-reading technology.

This is supposed to be cutting edge? Not from my experience, and not at all fun either.

I wonder what it does behind the scenes in your brain. Whats it telling it to do. Subliminally.

If more of the comments on this website were coherent, or even close to being gramatically correct, I’d be more inclined to look deeper into some of these conspiracy theories. However, 99% of the posts sound like a drunk after an all-nighter, who hasn’t been laid in ten years.
Take some personal responsibility. Do you vote? Do you research who you vote for? Do you encourage people around you to do the same?
Do you know how to shoot? Have any firearms that use military calibers? Spare parts for same? Those guns should also be from ‘off the radar,’ if you take my meaning.
Got a week’s worth of food, water, medicine handy? Silver/Gold? If you truly believe these theories, you should be exhorting the people around you to do all these things in preparation for whichever disaster/takeover/coup you believe in.
But alas, all I see on this site, no matter what the topic, is drunken ranting. Oh, well, whatever makes you feel good. But I will shoot you and yours if you try to take what I have put away for bad times, when the bad times come. Should be pretty easy, drunk as you (mostly) seem to be!

This will be interesting to watch as it developes. I remember when “virtual reality” was being marketing at Union Station in St. Louis.

This technology will be the death of us. We are doomed
October 12th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
This technology is decades old, nothing new here.
