    He said DARPA is funding research for more sophisticated EEG technology. He didn’t say “they’re going to start putting this toy in fighter jets”. This is merely a step in that direction. They have learned how to recognize electrical signals, now they need to figure out how to interpret them into distinguishable commands (it will be decades before that happens, imo).

    ahhh why is it star wars

    Ha ha, did I mention I’m thinking of getting one of these for my kids (and me too of course) this Christmas?

  6. pmsfo

    Oh great. If you are worried about children sitting inside playing video games all day and not exercising outside, look what we have to look forward to. Soon children will atrophy so much the meat will fall off their bones.

    not true; an “acquired” trait is not passed on to your children.

    e.g. you being able to do a double backflip doesn’t mean your kid will be able to do one.

    or,
    If you chopped off all your limbs and had a child, that child does not have an increased chance of being born without limbs AT ALL.

    NOTHING can get written into your genes after you’re born.

    The EEG used in this thing and the mind-machine interface required to fly a fighter, with your mind, without dying, are two totally different things. It’s like comparing a nuclear submarine to a bop-it.

  9. shibz10

    well yes, yes i do

  10. hasp24

    I’m assuming you would know from experience what a cock pump looks like

  11. CaptainDesk

    You’re an idiot. This is just “The Clapper” but harder to use.

  12. shibz10

    looks like he made it out of his cock pump

    Wow your even more retarded then I thought, thats not how the theory of evolution works…..You dont just will something into your genes, and by the way the change it would take to your genes to somehow alow the human body to use telekinesis is such a huge change I don’t even know how you can defend your self with “its evolution”

  14. leorock001

    Didnt you listen??? didnt i make myself clear??? look…., we can achieve higuer levels of concentration and eventually it will be written down in our genes! … its evolution. you idiot! look it up!

  15. 93hamsal

    Without the machine, are you stupid? no mater how much you concentrate your physical body doesn’t have any means of controlling external objects. the force to do it simply doesn’t exit.

  16. BananagunStudios

    haaha but that game says that the person isn’t conscience when controlling it. COFFIN systems make you one with the plane, not just controlling it. HAHHHA I love AC too much

  17. clamburgler

    make a giant cyborg suit!

  18. leorock001

    by the way! mind flex doesnt work!

  19. leorock001

    this will be good! why? because the new generations of kids and people will develop advance and deeper concentration, and eventually it will happen without the machine……….

  20. cobchob

    you could use this on a computer like just think “i want to play computer” and it goes on how awesome that would be :D

    Ace Combat 3 anyone? lol

  22. bender1011001

    lol good one

  23. bender1011001

    alanlancer008: I think its a little more than nothing special. No insult to you but I think we will see several games made from this. If you think of board games, this is a new era for sure. It may be just a fan being controlled, but this could control whatever they can think up. The possibilities are very much open. This is very cool.

  24. jadasada

    lololollololololol.
    Are you 7?

  25. bluereaperz

    we will become technopaths
