Saw this today. Where do you suppose my mind immediately went? Right to the cockpit of a Battlemech.

And there I thought that we all would be converting a soft bycycle helmet into one to make playing feel more realistic.

I have an East German Leather tanker helmet reserved for that :-)

I saw on modern marvels after brain surgery to install an interface chip circuit to the brain handicapped people literally plugging into their comp and thinking its operation. Bionic components will make it possible for them to walk in the future by using their brains.

Yep. I saw that too. I also remember watching something on Science channel, where tey used a chip in the brain to control a robotic arm over the internet. I think the guy with the chip was in London and the robotic arm was in New York. He was moving it by thinking what he wanted it to do.

Pretty amazing.

You know, they already have neural interface controllers for gaming.... and no surgery needed, it just you know, reads brain waves and all;

Operating a game on the comp and operating bionic limbs when a person's doesnt work might be two different things. Id never use the type of thing you are talking about just because I enjoy my privacy. The last thing I want is to have my thoughts stolen while using that sort of head gear on the internet. As for the handicapped and other non-compromising applications i applaud scientific research. Both surgical and non-surgical methods were shown on the program discussed above. Both have their advantages. Just my opinion: many people according to a poll feel safe being monitored, I dont.
