Ladies and gents, please welcome psionics!
Slashdot reports that "OCZ Technology is putting their neural impulse actuator (NIA) into 
mass production for shipping next week. The device, aimed at gamers, works by reading bioptentials. 'These include activities of the brain, the autonomous nervous system and muscles — all of which are captured using embrace sensors located on the NIA's headband, amplified and sent to the PC via USB 2.0.' Users of the NIA will be able to control their in-game movements using only the power of mind. The device is priced at around $600USD." (Overclock3D reports a price of $300.)
Wicked! I can't wait to try this baby out. :-) Also, the number and coolness factor of applications I see of this technology as it matures, is uncanny... And wait till teh_pwnerer gets his hands on this! "liek i can pwn n00bz with me brain now lol!!!11 gg kthx"

I've tried something similar (only simpler) about 7 years ago and it was great, but I couldn't imagine playing Doom using that :-)
