A new method of playing video games

[Raven_Writer]

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.
