Tired of playing at being a Jedi, controlling objects with your mind? No? Well, get back to work anyway! But that doesn’t mean you have to stop being a Jedi…
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) measuring EEG output as input data have been on the periphery of modern technology for years. Now, the Intendix from Guger Technologies (g*tec) is a system that uses an EEG cap to measure
brain activity in order to let you type with your thoughts.
For 9,000 euros (about $12,200) you can purchase the Intendix, which allows you to connect an EEG cap and “type” words in using your mind. There’s even a video of a user playing Second Life, although I suspect that there’s a bit of fudging going on.
And what’s the world record for typing with your mind? Write down your guess, then hit the jump and find out. The Second Life video is there as well.
