The patients have their skulls opened and the electrodes placed on the surface of the brain to find out where their seizures are originating, so the connections in that area can be cut in the hope of a cure.

I wonder how many people on this board would get skull implants to play videogames...

 

[Kuramu]

c'mon, i'm obviously joking about the nintendo thing. Imagine in 20 years, we might be playing games with our brains... not to mention the possibilities with artificial limbs. A friend of mine just had both hands removed, and this sort of thing brings great hope for exciting inovations

edit: also, the article mentions that ther'ye working toward a non-invasive probe thingy... no open skulls

CNN...

I bet it'll still cost less than a GBA.

So with electrodes plugged into ur brain cant they also send all sorts of messages that would make u feel love, pain, so on? Its like a real life matrix almost. The end is near.

Not one reply! And I even suggested non-skull opening alternatives!!

Hmm.. that could be cool in one way. However, I could see a split between games if that happens: "real" games that use that technology and fully immerse you in their worlds and "traditional" games that only use controllers and TVs. I'm playing REmake on my cube and I would NOT want to feel a zombie's bite on my neck. No thanks you.

oh and.. ::gives gofreak a cookie::

Now that I think about it, thats a lot like the PS9 commercial. Looks like I might actually live to see that.

Jack into the Matrix!

Wouldn't the console be pretty expensive with this kind of technology?

 

[Borat]

Connect 12 GBA's to your skull for multiplayer mode!

Umm... Sony already has this patent on this for the PS9

I've always thought that in the future, if I lose one of my hands or both, they would be able to allow your brain to control the game mentally. Granted, I don't expect this type of usability (and cost) for at least a decade. Then again, look at how they've improved the invisible cloak. The future is now.

Great, just great.

by the time this is mainstream I will be far to old to get the full benefits of cyber sex.

Actually, you can look at it the other way around.

By the time this is mainstream, cyber sex will be your only option.

Awesome! I'll be there at launch for surgery.
