Neowin: Mind over matter' no longer science fiction

Using a specially designed skull cap fitted with electrodes, scientists are now able to control a computer, and write characters onto the screen.

As Dr. Brunner concentrates on the "B" of "bonjour" in a keyboard-like grid of letters and symbols taking up half the screen, a computer randomly highlights lines of characters in rapid succession.

Each time the row -- vertical or horizontal -- containing the letter 'B' is illuminated, Brunner's brain emits a slightly stronger signal. It takes the computer about 15 seconds to figure out what letter he is looking at. The system is doubly adaptive, with both the software and the person using it becoming more efficient over time.

'Mind over matter' no longer science fiction

Now this is neat, with this type of technology being developed, interacting with computers won't be comfined to just having to use a keyboard and mice. The only thing I'm worried about is computers that can think for themselves, that would possibly cause computer programmers to lose there jobs...though that's still on the horizon, lucky for me at least..
