We Live in the Future: Play Video Games with your Mind
Emotiv Systems has been demonstrating their headset controller, Project Epoc, a computer peripheral that will allow you to think at a video game to make actions occur on-screen.
But I was there for the video games, and the kind folks at Emotiv delivered. Using a modified version of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire I navigated Harry through a level using a standard PS2 control pad. When I got to a place where I needed a spell, Dave took over, moving blocks and casting fireballs with his mind. Way to go, Dave!

(Beware the tacky music that plays when the page loads!)
But I love their "Is This Sci-Fi or What?" tagline.
