I am about to pull the trigger on purchasing the EMOTIV headset, a brand new brain-computer interface that according to its creators, Emotiv Systems, will make it possible for games to be controlled and influenced by the player's mind, and facial expressions. It connects wirelessly with the PC, and may in the future work on other game platforms such as consoles.
There is a version available for researchers which includes a high resolution, neuro-signal acquisition and processing wireless neuroheadset and also a proprietary software toolkit that exposes APIs and detection libraries such as the Affectiv Suite, the Cognitive Suite and the Expressiv Suite. These allow for monitoring emotional states, conscious thoughts and intent and also facial expressions.
I am very much looking forward to using this for research, particularly into the non-photorealistic rendering realm as it could well form the next logical step to some of the research work carried out for my PhD. The cost alone makes it incredibly appealing, will post a follow-up when I receive the hardware and test it.
