Mind reading sensors provide a new interface

Technological advances allow brain wave-reading sensors to be implemented in a $20 headset. They have created a simple Darth Vader game. When the player concentates, the light saber glows. When attention wanders, the weapon goes dark. The sensors read brain wave activity related to concentration, relaxation, and anxiety, and it ranks them from 1 to 100. Such biofeedback games have the potential to boost mental focus, and could even be helpful for disorders such as: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism and mood disorders. More sophisticated headsets with 18 sensors have the potential to do even more.
