What really excites me is that EEG technology is becoming cheaper and cheaper. I really want this tech to hit the mainstream crowd, and I think gaming could be the channel to get ball rolling. What we need is noninvasive sensor gear and some great software titles.

I would suggest that you make a post on the forums and see what help turns up (ping me there if necessary by sending me a PM, user name is HiggyB). @B: unfortunately no, we cannot really assist you with 3rd party tech directly.

I've read through the documentation provided by Neurosky (but didn't help me yet): http://developer.neurosky.com/docs/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=app_notes:using_thinkgear_with_unity.pdf Possible to get some assistance / feedback what to do specifically ? Thanks in advance :) Hello,

Possible to get some assistance / feedback what to do specifically ?

I tried the demo at GDC and it was freaking awesome - much to my surprise, it actually works. My buddy and I came away from the stand just brimming with game ideas. Oh, and seeing that the demo was done in Unity was pretty rockin' too. It was that GUI skin that gave it away, for sure ;) I would *love* to make games for this.

Im not a genious, but why dont you create a Free Version so people could start working with your software, and create licenses for comercial use ou something like thar ? Thanks. hi,

And yes, Doonesbury is easily one of my all-time favorite cartoons (right there with Bloom County). Nice reference! Christopher: sure, that's essentially the same product as NeuroSky is offering, although that one looks like a monstrosity compared to NeuroSky's (which is only a bit larger than a normal set of headphones). But I sense that both companies will be working hard on a smaller device so it's more appealing to use. But really, all it takes is writing a simple plug-in to accept the device's input and they'd be all set.

The Sublime: The Army is actively investigating alternative therapies for their huge load of brain-injury and PTSD cases, and both biofeedback and virtual-worlds therapies hold great promise. Psychologists could take advantage of input devices such as NeuroSky's and Unity's rapid-prototyping capacity to quickly experiment with treatments. At GDC I was taken by the new Wii pressure-pad input device -- the cartoon ski-jumping was fun, but it was the yoga feedbackgame that really intrigued me. The Ridiculous: Reminds me of a Doonesbury cartoon from the early '90's, during the first giddiness about VR. BD's wife Boopsie tries out a virtual online store using a head-mounted display, and blinks while looking around the database: "Oops, I think I just bought a forklift." …Mmm, yummy!
