Yeah, it has a twist-- someone decided to use user-interface advanced tech and computers, let some teens learn how to juggle balls with thier minds....

I might get roasted for this one, expect what you shell out if you flame-- with a twist or curveball return involved.... :D Think about the interfacing used, though, and think how it would be if you could game with it.... Extend the thought stream to exoskeletal input devices, eye motion sensors, etc, and you will see where this thread COULD go-- especially if the gaming was done in a holographic imaging display.... Lets, however not discuss BIBLICAL GAMES HERE.....

It's not so much using your mind from what the article portrays. The game just seems to read your relaxation levels and alertness to accomplish certain goals, it's more of controlling yourself than controlling your mind. I don't believe this will be a wave of the near future, consoles and PC games will get to the point where people can't tell the difference between real and fake first, then companies will move on to things such as this only more advanced.

sounds like a novelty, but ultimately no fun. Kinda like Virtual Reality.

People don't like having to "hook up" all kinds of crap just to play a game. It gets old real fast.

I'd say it's more lemon merengue.
