NEUROHEADSET mind control gaming headset unveiled for 2008

reply to post by MemoryShock


What forum would that go under?

This is interesting, its now 2008

imagine what the technology will be like in another yen years.

i'm pretty sure that we are all living in the times where we will see some incredible things invented.


and i wont be surprised if some of the things that will be invented will change the course of humanity forever.

I work with EEG quite a bit, and after checking out the pictures, here is my take on it . The unit attaches to O1, O2, T3, T4, T5, T6, C3, C4, F3, F4, PF1, PF2, LOC, ROC and two locations that we do not normally monitor between F3-T3, and F4-T4. Here is a Chart showing the 10/20 electrode positions that you can check against the photograph:

10/20 Electrode Placement

Folks who are worried about this reading their minds have nothing to fear, we are a long way from being able to do that yet as each persons brain is wired differently. We cannot tell when a neuron fires what memory or thought that neuron is related to. However there are certain functions that are wired the same way in everyone, and certain patterns to normal brains waves, and those we can read. Some of the things we can detect are: Various brain disorders (Coma, Seizures, Brain Death (obviously )…etc), Eyes open, Eyes closed, Eye movements, Drowsiness, Sleep, Sleep stages, Pain, Muscle tension, Some movement, Substance abuse, Some changes in body temperature (Hot flashes, or Sweating), When someone hears a loud noise, and a few other minor things that are eluding me ATM. Most of this is interpreted by the Shape, Amplitude, and Frequency of the Brian Waves, with the exception of Eye Movements. We can in no way read what a person is thinking or dreaming at this time.

I suspect that this machine works mainly on the ROC/LOC eye movements, and is sort of like a joystick that follows eye movement on the screen. It might even be able to read the signal that you would like to push a button or pull a trigger before you physically do it. I suspect that it detects most of the facial movements and emotions through reading muscle tone. Obviously a person that is upset or under stress is going to have a lot more muscle show up in their EEG then someone who is relaxed or dosing off.

It’s a neat novelty, but I doubt it’s going to function well for gaming, as nataylor quite correctly stated. At present, we have to prep people vigorously for a clinical EEG, then we have to monitor and interpret what is coming from that EEG, constantly fixing and adjusting things during each test. I doubt that folks using this unit are going to get a good signal due to questionable placement, poor impedances, EMF interference, and variations in amplitude. Also if the unit does not have the Analog to Digital converter as hardware, as well as whatever is interpreting the signal, then you are looking at a lot of overhead in software, chewing up system resources, to be running besides a game.

Thank God... even though there are people who say 'they' really are reading thoughts, I believe you're right.

But also, as you said, basic functions can be observed and a persons physiological state can be 'read' by these devices. Being able to read a persons physiological state or 'mood' is about as close to mind reading as we can get.

Now when it comes to manipulating somebodies mood with EM signals? Childsplay.... they've had this mastered for a long time.

This device reads brain patterns and converts them to interpretations which controls the game/device what ever its connected to. I don't think we will be seeing anything anytime soon which actually KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WERE THINKING/DREAMING, however its a scary thought.

Though I would love to be able to utilize such a device to be an author.
I have had many great ideas and with how quickly thoughts run through my head I haven't been able to sufficiently commit them to some media.
*le sigh*

the military applications are unmeasurable

Not sure I could trust myself with that much power.
Or they could either.
hehehehehheh

LOL i dont think many people would.

No but in all honesty having something like this being availible to the public will enable much more advanced people to hack the device and possibly program it for there own use on other devices. I could think of many
