Brain Controlled Pinball Becomes Reality

Despite the likes of Nintendo with their Wiimote, Microsoft and Natal plus Sony and their unnamed motion controller making gamers more active while playing games, Berlin Brain-Computer Interface is a group that works to translate brain signals to electronic devices.

Although this research is mainly aimed at people with mechanical limbs and patients that are paralysed, Berlin Brain-Computer Interface recently demonstrated a man using his brain to play a pinball game.

Could the future see it applied to more mainstream games?

The Escapist have more.

Maybe in the future, consoles will just come with helmets instead of controllers. Wow.

Just to translate the human thought of "left button" or "right button".

Now this is the future,
no buttons but no movement either

Like i posted in some reply to some guy...my bro saw some small time toy thing where you where some hat that controls a ball (or somehting else). Though all you can do is move it in a certain direction with your thoughts, the point is you move it with your mind. No buttons or voice controls.

The future of gaming is perfect mind/voice/body control. Where you are the controller. No not the character within the game...*thinks of the movie "Gamer"*

great concept, but i am not sure i want to have to wear something on my head to collect brain wave activities. I saw this kid on Discover channel, he tried to draw a circle with his mind. As expected it looked more like a rounded square. This is all about testing the ability for paralyzed to people to by past the break and continue neuron transmissions from the brain through the nerves to something that could control a prosthetic. Basically, this is crazy (in a cool way)

@rezzah
actually the toy you mentioned is probably controled by moving your facial muscles, the technology in this article is completely different and much more advanced.

rezzah5910d ago (Edited 5910d ago )

well yea, dont expect it to be amazing in anyway. We as humans expect too much, we are introduced to the concepts theoretically at an early stage. Those concepts are blown way outta proportion are expected to pop up sooner than later. Its like people in the 80's thinking the world would be filled with flying cars in the 2000's. Technology takes a long time to develope, its like evolution but in a much shorter timeline (1000 years compared to 1000000).

screw that i am fine with using my hands

Foxgod5910d ago

The kids in Back to the future said that using your hands is for baby's.

ps3ftwin5910d ago

I would fall asleep playing like that.
