a computer game controlled through your brainwaves!

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=20546
Wearable bio-sensors manufacturer NeuroSky intends to exhibit a brainwave-controlled video game, which was co-developed with Square Enix (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest), on October 8 - 9 at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.

The technical demonstration operates in conjunction with PCs and NeuroSky's MindSet, a commercial headset capable of interfacing to a variety of gaming platforms, including PC, console, and mobile.

MindSet's design resembles a pair of headphones, with a single electrode contacting the user's forehead while reading the player's brainwave information, or EEG data. The headset registers the current state of relaxation or concentration of players, allowing them to perform actions within the game.

Founded in 2004 and headquartered in San Jose, CA, NeurSky develops bio-sensor and signal processing technology specifically designed for end-use in the consumer market. Its products are targeted at various markets markets, such as consumer electronics, health & wellness, education & training, transportation, market research, and others.

“At Square Enix, we are actively involved in developing a variety of gaming interfaces," eays Square Enix producer Ryutaro Ichimura.

"I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with NeuroSky, and apply their advanced sensor technology in this brain-wave controlled game demonstration. Although the main purpose of the demo is to test the results of our short development period, I hope it also unlocks new potentials in gaming."

    Followed by an announcement of a new peripheral that promises to read all your thoughts, and Defender telling everyone that no, it still doesn't properly read gamma waves and it's just a gimmick that won't be properly used.

    i think the coolest part about this thread is that neurosky is a company whose entire mandate is to put brain-reading technology in consumer electronics.

    Actually when viewed through a postmodern "we are all prisoners of our own technology" lens, Speed might be considered cyberpunk.

    no, because there's no DIY aesthetic to speed

    'blown away' would be a better choice

    Actually if you want to extend the "cyberpunk" genre to technology and the breakup of the nuclear family, Parenthood then comes into play.

    there is no reason that cyberpunk would involve families at all

    actually, thinking about it, i suppose you could make a case for family breakdown in cyberpunk

    kind of like how it tends to be in film noir, it's just a good conflict to have to create drama
