Emotiv Systems plans to start selling the $299 EPOC neuroheadset designed to detect conscious thoughts and expressions as well as "non-conscious emotions" by reading electrical signals around the brain. :cool:

The headset can detect emotions such as anger, excitement and tension, facial expressions, and cognitive actions like pushing and pulling objects.

The headset will be sold with a game developed by Emotiv, but it can also be made to work with existing PC games. Users will also be able to access an online portal to play more games, chat or upload their own content such as music or photos....:cool:

The "brain computer interface" technology could transform not only gaming, but how humans and computers interact. :cool:

Maybe you should contact ESI, tell them you doubt them, and see if they will let you be a test subject.:D

this tech has been around for about 10 years now, in main stream. The US Air Force has been working on it since the late 70's.
here is one of the most recent incarnations.

i can not remember the call letters for the first civilian company but do a little research on 'thought machine controls devices for disabled'
and im sure you can find it.
