A recent invention will make you think twice of what the future contains for us. Two students Charles Moyes and Mengxiang have built a different version of the very popular pong game which is implausibly difficult to play. No the rules are still the same but the mode of playing is different. You do not use a remote, keyboard or mouse or any touch screen device, rather its your brain that does the job of controlling the pads and that too directly!
The students who are currently studying at Cornell University have constructed a custom electroencephalography (EEG) device which is the medium of communication with the on screen game
The EEG generates alpha waves which consist of faint electric signals and these are then amplified to get the final input for the game after digitizing them and transferring them via USB to the computer running the game.
The way of playing the game is that during relaxation the paddle moves up and during high concentration the paddle moves down. The size of waves (which is in turn determined by the concentration level of the player) determines the distance the paddle will travel.
So this game can be used to increase concentration as well
