Companies Developing Mind-Controlled Video Games

Who said you don't use your brain when playing video games?

Several companies are now developing technology for mind-controlled video games that use headsets to translate brain waves into digital information, the Wall Street Journal reports.

San Jose-based NeuroSky came out with a headset in 2009 that was used for an Uncle Milton Inc. toy that  would suspend a ball inside a tube when players concentrated, with a fan blowing it upward.

Other companies working on similar technology include London-based MyndPlay Ltd. and San Francisco-based Emotiv Systems.
