Meet the Emotive EPOC:
Here is that later date, a news article from Yahoo reports:
Here is the website for emotiv, which is basically all about the EPOC right now (I assume its their first development/product):

There's more pictures, some other details and stuff, and this description of what the EPOC and EmoKey software is designed to do:
So, this to me seems like a huge breakthrough in technology for gaming. If these controls work well, and are responsive enough to keep up with the action in a game (racing games for example)...I would be all over it.

NEW YORK - 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.
The headset will be sold with a game developed by Emotiv, but it can also be made to work with existing PC games, the company said. 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.
Emotiv plans to work with IBM Corp. to explore applications beyond video gaming. The "brain computer interface" technology could transform not only gaming, but how humans and computers interact, said Paul Ledak, vice president of IBM's Digital Convergence business.

EmoKey is a software that comes with the neuroheadset, enabling you to map any keystroke pattern to a detectionfrom the Emotiv EPOC. Giving you the power to replay any of your favorite games with completely different interactivity. Cast a spell just by thinking about it... and move mountains with your mind. Live the fantasy!
So, this to me seems like a huge breakthrough in technology for gaming. If these controls work well, and are responsive enough to keep up with the action in a game (racing games for example)...I would be all over it.
