A video demonstration given by Research Scientist Gerwin Schalk includes a man controlling Doom with his brain.
Man tells character in Doom to shoot with just his thoughts. It works.
Computerworld reports that during the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Emerging Technology Conference, Research Scientist Gerwin Schalk explained that the ability to control computers with nothing but our minds could be a lot closer than we think.
"What I'm here to tell you is that this is not science fiction. This is an emerging reality," Schalk said. "We're about that close," pinching his thumb and index finger together, "to being able to play back the music just by listening to the brain."
Among several video demonstrations Schalk showed during the conference to back up his claim was one in which a man commanded his character in id Software's Doom to "accurately" shoot enemies. That's pretty impressive, but can it play Rage?
