2P writes: It is the last day of Game Development Conference. On the conference, journalist from 2p.com surprisingly finds out a company named Neurosky to demonstrate its innovative technology product which is beyond the imagination of normal people: Mind Wave – a mind control equipment. When you wear this goggle like equipment, this device will collect brain waves, calculate the tester’s thinking and judge what he want to do next, and then return a value to the program. Wearing this device, you should focus your attention to a target on the screen, and then the corresponding concentration value will grow. It could not throw the object located on the target until the concentration value hit the threshold point.
