How well do these neural interfaces work?
 

I've known about them for a very long while. I know they work, though I'm not sure of the degree of control you can acheive For instance typing without a keyboard....etc.

Seems to me like it could be fairly limited.

I don't plan on buying of these, just saw it when I was looking for a new flight stick and thought "hey, that would be cool."

from all i have read, suprisingly well, but ultimately like ass, if that makes any sense. ie, you have to train your face/eyes to get them to work, and for very simple things, you can manage but they still have a long way to go before they are reliable and useful.

If these things would work well, I can't imagine how much fun a game like Descent could be considering its so fast paced.

I actually got the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator and I must say I am a little disappointed. While it does work, if you just get the calibration and connection good, you will have to train yourself A LOT A LOT A LOT. I am not that really patient to learn and also, you need to make have a great sense of tactics and strategy how to make profiles. For example, when you move your eye brows to the left you press a button is a easy stuff but when it comes to multiple cordination like aiming in FPS it will be very hard.

Anyway, I am gonna keep it for a while to see how it works with future drivers, profiles and if my interest goes up I might start using it. It's a fun thing to have but it's not a replacement for the mouse or keyboard. That will take ages for that unless a revolution shows up.

it amazes me that such things work at all


When it works like in the firefox movie it will be fun.

It's not as good as it may appear.

The problem is, it doesn't work by thought. I.e. you can't just think left, and it will move left, or think fire, and it fires. You have to physically move the part of the body it's attached to. But if that's the case, you might aswell put your keyboard to your face and start pressing buttons with your nose, because it amounts to the same thing.

there is actually a game called descent? is that based on the movie of all girl mountain hikers?

LOL, stay out of this 90's kid http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/tongue1.gif

OMG !!! ROFLMAO !!!

Kids these days...

Yap, it's a lame ads when it may appear as it's really a "neural" sensor altough it might be but it's VERY hard to control without raising eye brows or moving the forehead somehow.
