    "It picks up electrical activity from the brain and sends wireless signals to a computer," said Tan Le, president of US/Australian firm Emotiv.
    "It allows the user to manipulate a game or virtual environment naturally and intuitively," she added.

    but could you sit down to play on your computer wearing one of these. Imagine the door goes and you run out to answer it without taking it off!

    It'll be yonks before that becomes the norm. I do like it, but at the same time it makes us lazier, even when playing games! no...?
