Using your brain to control a video game character is nothing new, unless you don’t mean using your brain to control your hands, but just raw mind power, and then, yeah, that’s new. Researchers have developed a game and headset that allows the player to control a tightrope-walking man-frog (of course!) by focusing thought on flashing checkered boxes on the right and left of the screen. It’s not for sale—just a fun way to siphon money from the government, like all science—but in a few years we could be using the Sony BrainToy to control videogame characters and select options in games.
