Skirmish in the Cyborg Human war #2
eMotiv has just announced that they are releasing a new product, the EPOC neuro-headset. The EPOC is a game controller, at least at the moment, directed by "brain signals". Take that WII! The following description off the web suggests the range of impacts this 'tool' might have. Oh, and this is just a GEN.1 version.
"When a user wears the eMotiv's EPOC neuro-headset on his head, the
brain signals are immediately picked up by the machine. It's primary
use is for games; however, hackers/developers are launching
applications to remotely control computer, tv, lights, phone, radio,
car, robots, or just about any electronic device with the EPOC.
The applications developer is able to utilize the Brain API which
gives unparalled access to a user's brain. The API is subdivided into
3 "packages" or suites:
1) The Affectiv(tm) suite measures discreet emotional states.
2) The Cognitiv(tm) suite detects conscious thoughts.
3) The Expressiv(tm) suite can identify facial expressions in real-time.
