The app that can read your mind: iPhone brainwave detector arrives
The London Daily Mail ^ | January 14, 2011 | Matt Blake

It's a device that would be more at home on the set of a Star Wars movie than the streets of Britain.

But an iPhone application has been developed that can read minds.

The XWave allows users to control on-screen objects with their minds as well as train their brains to control attention spans and relaxation levels.

The device - that could confuse Luke Skywalker himself - is the latest in the field of emerging mind-controlled games and devices and works via a headset strapped around the user's forehead, plugging into the iPhone jack.

A state-of-the-art sensor within the device can then read the user's brainwaves through the skull, converting them into digital signals before displaying them in various colours on the iPhone screen.....

The march of the mobile devices continues.

I read an artcle where some South Korean director made a feature film with a few Iphones.

I think Libs will be disappointed with this App. A flat line is boring.

Powder..patch..ball FIRE!

I know a very dear young man with traumatic brain injury from a car accident.

His recovery has been very slow, but he continues to make progress.

Between this and the kinect for the xbox I sure would like to come up with a way to allow him to retrain his reflexes, motions and concentration....

*From Back to the Future*
The first brain wave simulator fails:

Doc: "Don't say a word."
Marty: "Doc!"
Doc: "I don't want to know your name. I don't want to know anything about you."
Marty: "Listen, Doc... Doc..."
Doc: "Quiet!"
Marty: "You gotta help..."
Doc: "Don't tell me anything. Quiet! I'm gann read your thoughts. Let's see now. You've come here from a great distance?"
Marty: "Yeah, exactly."
Doc: "Don't tell me! Uh, you want me to buy a subscription to The Saturday Evening Post?"
Marty: "No!"
Doc: "Not a word! Not a word! Not a word now! Quiet. Uh, donations... You want me to make a donation to the Coast Guard Youth Auxiliary."
Marty: "Doc, I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that you invented. Now I need your help to get back to the year 1985."
Doc: "By God! Do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all!"

Ahem...

Will it perhaps be used as “bone induction” for learning?
