"Tan Le's astonishing new computer interface reads its user's brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications."

This is so cool! Before she even got to the section of video gaming I thought this would be a wonderful device for it and it seems to be where video games are going with things like the wii and kinect for xbox.
I really think this is an awesome device and the whole thinking about an action of the box blew my mind. I really liked her description for how it works based on the individual... I can really see a future where this kinda of technology is prominent.
Technology never ceases to amaze me! I was reminded of the movie Matilda, in which she can control things with her mind, much like the last few minutes of the video with the smart house. Opening curtains, moving items around the house, and turning lights off and on. It just astonishes me that a fictional story like that is actually becoming a reality with rapidly advancing technologies today!
Pretty cool but I hope they find more beneficial things to do with this technology (like the wheel chair) other than games and finding more ways for some of us to be lazy (we should get up an close/open our own curtains and turn on/off our own lights), even though I guess it might help the economy!
