There was a crew back about a decade ago in Europe that had people wired up to a computer and they could think of certain notes in their head and play a keyboard via midi.
Wont be long now - waiting for a helmet that plugs into my Ipad

brainwave control has been around since the 80s from memory. A gaming company has created a headset which measures brainwave activity to control subtler things within game play, could be weapon selection, and what not...and combines that with actual digital (hand/finger) control.

There is already an API available for people to develop code for it, for shit like iPad...just need creative AND smart people to do it.

Someone should write a MAX object for it!

This reminds me a lot of various projects in the 1990s which used biological control signals like galvanic skin response and eye tracking. There was a relatively low-cost unit called Waverider which measured GSR and had a Max object (the manufacturer has found other applications and markets and current units don't work with it). The Biomuse which came to prominence through the work of Atau Tanaka (as I recall, the company gave him one of these $10k beauties).

When I visited Biocontrol during a research trip in '95 the company was aiming for military and medical markets, especially for eye tracking. Now, the website seems to push the musical applications. What goes around...
