  1. Mind Control Video Games Video game players could use their thoughts not joysticks to control on-screen characters, via a gaming helmet from Emotiv Systems.

  2. Introduction • Thanks to Emotiv video game players video game players are now able to use their mind to control video games. • The headset is tuned finely enough to distinguish between a player's mental commands to lift a virtual item or to push, pull or spin it. • The headset allows the gamer to produce telekinesis

  3. Project Epoc The "Project Epoc" headset looks like a bicycle racer's helmet, but instead of protecting the skull, it detects the brainwaves inside it, using technology similar to electroencephalography found in medical settings.

  4. Expressiv Application • Expressiv application that identifies the user's facial expressions,

  5. Affective Application Affectiv suite is able to measures players' emotional states and detect and respond to tension, frustration and meditation.

  6. Cognitiv Application Cognitiv application that detects players' conscious thoughts about lifting or rotating the objects they see.

  7. Emotiv, a privately-held startup firm in San Francisco, has applied the technology to video games with the company's first product, the Emotiv Development Kit (EDK). The kit allows game developers to attach dozens of thoughts and emotions to the actions in their virtual worlds

  8. A game designed with EDK could allow players to move objects on the screen without touching a keyboard or joystick, make the character smile or wink when they do, or require a human player to stay calm so his character does not panic and reveal a hiding place in a stealth game. NO NO

  9. Developers have long sought ways to let gamers interact in ways that offer more realism than simple devices such as joysticks. Nintendo's Wiiand Guitar Hero have opened people's eyes to all-new interfaces In November, Nintendo Co. Ltd. added physical motion to its system with the motion-sensitive Wiicontroller.

  10. The company has not announced pricing for the EDK$$$$

  11. Emotiv is marketing its technology first to gamers, and plans to adapt it in the future for medicine, security, market research, accessibility design and interactive television.

  12. The Edk seems out of this world. We had no clue that something like this could be brought up and be built by some wonderful minds.
