Mind Controlled video games under development

The BBC has an interesting story on a video game being developed by researchers of Mind Games and The University College, Dublin where the character is controlled directly from a player's brain.

"Imagine a world where your brainwaves offer you another degree of freedom in a control system -- and think of how useful that freedom would be for someone who can?t use a conventional controller like a mouse. We can?t lift starfighters with Jedi Mind Tricks just yet, but the MindGames group is taking strides in that direction through the non-invasive real-time analysis of human brainwaves. Mind Balance was the first application developed as part of an ambitious collaboration with researchers at University College Dublin to implement new brain-computer control interfaces."
