Emotiv EPOC brain-computer neuroheadset – control your computer/games with your mind

by Khalid Hosein on May 1, 2009

Neuroscience tech company Emotiv has been hyping their latest consumer product, the EPOC, over the past few months. The Emotiv EPOC is a brain-computer interface that looks like something straight out of a Sci-Fi movie.

The EPOC headset reads EEGs (Electroencephalography) to allow the wearer to (attempt) to control things; in particular games.

While the technology probably isn’t a slam-dunk just yet, and involves some calibration, think about the potential uses particularly for disabled folks, and a price-point that has not been previously available.

EPOC will be available for $299 later this year; you can pre-order a unit now directly from Emotiv.
