The inside of the NIA headband has three visible neural sensor pads that pick up the neural activity and classifies the activity into three classes of neural and electromyography signals. The three classes are as follows: electro oculographic, electro encephalographic and electromyographic signals which are said to reflect the behavior of the extra ocular muscles, brain, and facial muscles. The signals are then crunched and mashed together to create certain commands based on muscle, eye and brain functions. Apparently the NIA works and does what it’s supposed to do according to OCZ. This is exciting news for gamers and to think we wouldn’t see this type of technology for some time. I can’t even begin to imagine the possibilities of having this for the games I enjoy playing.
“Look ma, no hands!”
Sounds interesting. I wonder if there is any sort of learning curve for the program behind the neural sensors, such as a calibration of some sort. This would help me improve my hands free wasting of noobs on America’s Army though.
OCZ’s product looks a lot nicer than Emotiv’s concept. I’d rather wear a headband than a brain sucking robot.
Not so sure about this. Looks a little iffy. Kind of like the good old PowerGlove. Besides games need to have some kind of physical input. And it gives people an upper hand, gaming is about hand eye coordination. Ask any gamer they will tell you they will prefer he keyboard and mouse.

That’s right. Games aren’t about the immersive experience or having fun. Remeber that kids…

I can’t wait to see what they develop for interactive porn
