In the past few years there have been major terrorist attacks around the globe in developing as well as developed nations. Since then scientists have been pushing hard to come up with a viable alternative for a polygraph test, which at times is rendered useless in revealing concealed information from terrorism suspects. A series of test conducted in the Northwestern lab under J. Peter Rosenfeld (professor psychology in Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences) and his team seems to be the concrete solution in unearthing secret information from stubborn terrorists. The test is about measuring P300 brain waves via electrodes that are attached to the scalp of the test subjects in the lab.

Step aside Nintendo, Emotiv’s got dibs on the ultimate game controller right here with their Project Epoc. It’s basically a headset fitted with a bunch of sensors that “read” your mind and let you control video games (be it from your console or PC) via your thoughts.

The Neural Impulse Actuator is a device by OCZ Technology. The thing about this controller is that it is the first commercially available BCI (brain-computer interface) intended for PC gamers. The device bypasses the usage of the Mouse and allows gamers to control the game with their mind. The user-friendly software assigns commands easily and is regulated according to an individual’s physiology and personal preferences. Each of the Actuator’s signals can be assigned to a specific keystroke on the keyboard or a mouse button; consequentially, gamers can run, jump, and fire faster all without lifting a finger. The NIA converts EEG (electroencephalograph) signals into specified keystrokes and therefore it can be used with any software.
