But then about a week later, I was thinking about it some more, and suddenly it hit me... HOLY CRAP! I lifted a freaking mountain with my mind in a computer game.

The finished commercial product probably won't be a stupid looking helmet - but it beats using millions of Euros on developing a cool looking product BEFORE you have a working technology!]]>Jun 21st 2008 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/Jun 21st 2008 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/

I'm sure any quadriplegics hoping to use this to resume some semblance of a normal life are more than willing to overlook that minor issue.]]>Jun 22nd 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/
In other words, this is just a fancy system to track binary eye movements. Any quadriplegic who can move his eyes would be better off with a simple off-the-shelf eye tracker.

All in all, its better that Engadget present these tech items in a comical way than have them endorse something that's no more useful than a magic trick.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/21/german-scientists-develop-nerdiest-brain-computer-interface-yet/Jun 23rd 2008 4:25AM
