Whenever I’m in rush posting at TechChee, I really wish that I could have the kind of computer or interface, which could read my thoughts to help me post. So I could just sit back and relax, take any posture that I like or perhaps lying in my bed and my blog post will be completed without wasting any single bit of energy from my fingers.
I think the dream of having that kind of thoughts intepreting computer interface wouldn’t be a dream soon. The Germany company, g.tect has got a good start. They’ve got an out of the box, the BCI system, which would eventually be a thought reader for you to control your computer. Currently, it’s still a bit far from the ideal. It can only play simple games and comes with a P300 spelling device which, with a little training, can read your thoughts and place single letters on a screen. It’s currently having quite a poor accuracy on thought reading. It takes as many as 20 “flashes” to correctly read the word you’re thinking. Well, it’d be much harder and more time-consuming than posting using your QWERTY. Furthermore, as seen in the picture, the kind of dangling wires, surely it won’t give you a relaxed posture. There are still lots of room for improvement to become the ideal one and I guess it shouldn’t be too far from now.

[...] Again, another mind reading headset for gamers, but this one sounds pretty simple and also more promising with its low price, which will likely cost your as low as $20.00. The NeuroSky, currently is still a prototype of a US company, is claimed to be able to read brainwaves of gamers when they’re wearing it. Basically, it does the basic brainwave detection, which could be slightly different from other gadgets or gamers’ headset that could actually read the mind. The kind of basic brain-wave activities that could be read by this headset including signals that relate to concentration, relaxation and anxiety. It seems to me that you really wanna invest your full concentration and expression into playing games while using it. As a little bid of losing focus will lead you to game over. [...]

[...] Hey Hitachi, I’ve heard you! That is your next big plan very much ahead of your rivals, which you’ll be making our brain capable of moving the train. That’s the brain interface machine being developed by Hitachi. Making use of our brains to control gadgets, games and computers is not the first time that we’ve heard of. Hitachi’s brain interface machine can detect and analyze slight changes in the brain’s blood flow, which could allow you to control gadgets just by what you’re thinking. The device is to be worn on your head, which is connected by optical fibers to a mapping device that is linked to a train – well, that is a toy train. [...]
