> Just think "firefox" and you get firefox. My dabblings with BCI were nothing like that. It was more like spend 10 minutes ensuring you're properly grounded, then try really really hard to relax, and then discover that the slight movement of your leg muscle is swamping the signal. It was very hit and miss. I'm sure that given enough time and effort I could learn to control it more or less reliably, but it's a far cry from 'think firefox and get firefox'. In fact, what I found interesting was that more physical measures, like blinking, or even the x coordinate of your eye gaze were picked up fairly well. I could imagine using those as triggers for something with the same equipment, but I doubt I would get as quick with a BCI as am I with a keyboard until they improve markedly.
