headn33 Welcome Again to The 21st Century: Electroencephalography for At Home Entertainment
Emotiv Systems is finally releasing the much awaited Epoc headset brainwave controller. The available games and applications that the device can interface with are still scarce, so it seems to be geared toward developers and researchers that are thinking up new ways to utilize EEG. With a $300 starting price tag, this bodes well for a future where we’ll be able to chow down on cheeseburgers while blowing up virtual goblins in Halo 12.
