Emotiv Systems has announced that video-game makers are able to buy Emotiv’s electro-encephalograph (EEG) caps and software developer’s tool kits so that they can build games that, they claim, can use the electrical signals from a player’s brain to control the on-screen action.

However, biomedical experts are skeptical because of problems with lead coupling and transients and interference from strong signals from muscles in the head.
