A new method of playing video games

Quote:
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has reported a successful research accomplishment in which two Madison, Wisconsin patients, via electrodes implanted directly on their brains, were able to control a computer cursor and play a basic video game just by thinking about it.

Doctors last month and in June removed a portion of two patients' skulls and implanted electrodes on the surfaces of their brains. Wires from the electrodes were plugged into a computer, and the patients spent around two weeks learning how to control the cursor with their thoughts.

One patient was able to play a modified game of Pong. You can read the full article at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

This honestly kinda freaks me out, but come on really...you have to've known it was gonna happen sooner or later.
