Emotiv EPOC: Connecting Brains with Machines

Once only a subject of science fiction, machines which could read our thoughts are now starting to surface.

Emotiv EPOC is one such device. Designed specifically for gaming, this device can read not only our conscious but also our non-conscious thoughts. The aim of Emotiv in creating the EPOC is to be able to control a game with intangible thoughts in your brain. The EPOC works by detecting electric signals signifying not only thoughts but also feelings and expression. The EPOC can connect wirelessly to various consoles and PCs. The device nears its release with a price tag of approximately £152 and is available for pre-order here. I imagine playing a game by thinking it would be quite an experience. Let’s hope the EPOC does not disappoint.
