I saw a game once, where the probants had to wear such a device (this is no! new technology, reading brainwaves is probably 40 years old)
In the game, the players had to think very "relaxed", meaning that the brainwaves should be in a very periodic rythm. There was a ball on a line. For the probant with the more in-rythmic brainwaves, to ball moved toward him, and away from the other player. You lose, if the ball falls over a certain line.
Guess who wan the game, normal Guy, a Meditating Monk, or a Yoga Woman?
No, it was a Dog, that they also hook up...
Making a really interactive Game is just Science Fiction. There is not enough controll by the player to cause a precise action. Natural, precise input methods, that what the human body is designed to do (Hands, Eyes, Mouth) are always superiour.

That's what I thought, but probably you'll need to train yourself being able to 'think' a couple of dozen 'move rights' in a row very fast for this to actually be fast at all. The program expects readable input, even if this is about brainwavesignals, it probably won't even except a constantly flowing input because it could ruin the gameplay or basic control,

You will loose all your hair with that In real life , thinking too much is really bad, can only generate more stress to you. That's why lot of people do lot of sport (and bed sport also ), or activities were they must use their body to stop thinking , and act naturally with an empty mind (like art martials ) I think this kind of device can only be bad for people. My advice only !
