When I was a wee lad, probably 1980 or so, I was a regular at a market testing group for video games. It was usually just whatever new game was coming soon, but once it was a headband that you wore, with electrodes. It would control your Atari 2600 "by thought". I remember playing River Raider with it at the testing, you could go left and right and fire.
I don't think it actually read your brain activity, I think it was more muscle control dressed up, but it sorta worked.
Edit-
Link to some info on the device. It did in fact work by muscle activity.
