It has been possible to play video games with just our minds for several years now. I did this most recently while visiting NeuroSky in San Francisco. Of course, the bandwidth of a BCI remains well below other interfaces. However, there has been virtually no research about using BCIs with other interfaces. I think this is a major oversight. BCIs could provide additional bandwidth while people use a game controller, keybooard, or other interface. The critical question then becomes what I call the distraction quotient – the extent to which BCI use disrupts effective use of the ‘primary’ interface. Answer: It depends heavily on training and a seamless interface. How distracting is a keyboard during the first 10 minutes of use? Does it seem like a natural, easy interface now?

Videos of this cool technology actually working can be found with about the same effort needed to post a one-line comment. Please try a Google search, or click on our website here for talks that include several videos and other links.
