Technology that can read your mind...

I want to highlight three articles that deal with the brain (all from Boing Boing):

1) Brain-computer interface for Second Life -
This article talks about a device that moves a Second Life avatar just by thinking about what you want to do. Attach the technology to your head and start your imagination.
Is this what video games will become? Thinking about shooting your enemy in Halo 3 will make it happen? It then changes from who has the fastest hand-eye coordination to who can think the fastest.
A few links from the article...Neurophilosophy, YouTube video example, article Keio University

2) Microsoft's Mind Reading Patent -
Microsoft wants to monitor brain waves to see how effective user interfaces are...

3) Mind gyms for cognitive fitness -
SharpBrains.com has a fitness regime for the mind to improve memory or concentration. The article mentions it would be good for corporations, children, sports teams, and old people.
Instead of going to the website, go buy a Ninento DS and play Ultimate Brain Games.

Now, read some of these and get smarter....
