Gaming Brain-Reading Headset to Sell for $299

[The Helper]

NEW YORK (AP) - Hands cramping up from too many video games?

How about controlling games with your thoughts instead? Later this year, Emotiv Systems Inc. plans to start selling the $299 EPOC neuroheadset to let you do just that.

The headset's sensors are designed to detect conscious thoughts and expressions as well as "non-conscious emotions" by reading electrical signals around the brain, says the company, which demonstrated the wireless gadget at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

The company, which unveiled a prototype last year, says the headset can detect emotions such as anger, excitement and tension, as well as facial expressions and cognitive actions like pushing and pulling objects.

Mind control? Gaming headset will do just that

I recall buying a similar item as a child. They were X-Ray glasses, and all they did was turn things green. Someone should buy this and inform me if it's worth stealing from you.

It costs to much? It probably doesn't work, so yes it does. BUT if it does, then this is a pretty cool thing and three hundred dollars isn't too bad for the first thing like it. As I recall, people bought an IPod for like... five hundred dollars that had what, like half a gig? Or, something like a NASA hammer. THAT costs too much.
