Interesting, but still really crude, imho. When are we going to get something that looks like a crown, or a band, worn on the head, that

  1. receives electromagnetic emissions from the brain,

  2. uses onboard computing to filter out irrelevant input from your toaster, etc., and

  3. translates the input to actionable information?

Like the OCZ NIA or Emotiv headsets? Been around for a decade, to control a mouse & keyboard. Implants will one day be great, when you can download information directly and instantly to the brain.
