Hi intertwine. Don't want to dampen your spirits or anything, but there are a number of collation / new developments in... threads into which these would have fit, and you're more likely to generate quality discussion using a less listy format.

I was quite impressed with this video I found via your links though. An excellent presentation of prosthetic research to benefit those who need it.

i agree, but it was an already listed thread which i had posted on another forum. as a plus, this is now a really vague thread for adding anything about anything with even a flimsy relation to technological advancement.

I'm not totally convinced that's a plus.

im not too confident in its necessity either, i just felt it might be useful to have a place to put articles or ideas that users dont feel need a new thread.

soooo... where should I post this?

IŽll just go ahead.

Professor X Gaming Gear

This is a quite nice piece of technology, as far as I can judge, and it apparently works as well. Allegedly the device can detect emotions, movements, facial expressions etc simply by analizing a bit of brainwave. Cool stuff, that is if it doesnŽt vaporize or turn out to be fake. Are there any peers here whoŽd like to review that?

The product page is here, by the way.

Astrojax might have something to say on the topic.
A friend of mine worked for Emotiv, and my very own brainscan is in some of their research.

But, um, I've never seen it in action. I don't think it's vapourware, though. It certainly has a huge amount of promise for all kinds of applications, especially for people with disabilities.

Also, there might be a thread about it somewhere, but I'm not sure.

didn't see this thread when it was fresh - sorry. but yes, the prof i worked for helped establish emotiv and consults for them even today, based on some projected ideas from his work turning people's brains off with magnetic pulses (rTMS) to simulate savant abilities in 'normal' minds...

but i came here today to marvel at this. how far are we from being able to 'be' somewhere by never leaving home? but wild..!
