Mind-control gaming

Define Godlike: you think it, and it is so. Or if you’re an atheist, think of it as telekinesis practice, moving things with just your mind.
I’m talking about Emotiv’s EPOC game control helmet, which allows players to move items on their screens by just thinking about it.
It reads your mind–no, really– using 16 brain-wave sensors built into its frame, and recognizes thoughts like “push”, “pull”, “lift” and so on, and translates those into in-game actions.
The EPOC is due for release by the end of the year, and will retail for about $299.
