then again, yer nothing to get all overly concerned about, we can always find other Norways n' wharfs to Stick electrodes into......

by way of preliminary clrification-are you a bonafide doctor as in Phd,S.O.B., yadda yadda, or simply a lap rat poker, as it were...I'd hate to think there were any, electrodes on shaved rodent heads we need to know about-though I have no problem subjecting the little fuckers to all manner of inconvenience for the common good of the species....and on acounnta they spread disease and scare wimmin' in ways I never could-....little bastards, they can survive longer and thrive in all manner of conditions better than me as well-
*note to self:catch snake, feed snake.

Interesting, but very creepy, let's all just electrode up our brains and make each other walk in circles.

The decoding of visual input seems more interesting and useful to me then trying to direct flight.

I laughed at the Guitar Hero bit; "...flailing on colorful buttons like laboratory chimps with a head full of electrodes..."

You know what would go great with Guiliani for President? A well grounded metal basin filled with salt water and a 12,000 volt anal electrode. That guy is potentially the least charismatic person on Earth.

So there are two interesting things about the way this device works; a single electrode for the EEG recordings and a dry contact on that electrode. Its also shrunk down nicely, or course, but thats not super hard to do.

Unless people get really creative, the only way to get good recordings appears to be going invasive.

no question its a plasma. there are no phosphors in incandescent light bulbs, just silica powder for light diffusion. Its the low pressure argon fill in the bulb that is glowing, try it with a clear bulb for a second or two you'll definitely see it is a gas discharge phenomenon. also fluorescent bulbs and neon tubes no matter what the excitation source will always have a plasma inside if they are giving off light. the definition of a plasma is only a gas where some number of the atoms have had their electrons ripped off thus making the whole gas conductive. a candle flame is a very low level plasma (you can even stick electrodes in it and pass an oscillating current through it to make sound!)

If some electrodes were attached to her head, I bet the read-out would be the same as someone in deep meditation. You couldn't achieve 6:13 if you were thinking/worrying about anything.

It would be better if each guy had a broomstick with a 120V cord run up the side, so it's like a 120V prod (maybe a couple grabber screws in the end of the broomstick for electrodes). Then they spar with them on the floating platform.....

....that looked like it fucked ol' Miles up pretty good when he ripped those electrodes off the bandagedhead....this is one of those creepy ass moovies you saw once as a little kid, that played a part in shaping the twisted process you call you today......!

how is that different from, say, my Violet Wand?

making a high-frequency tesla coil output a "probe" seems strange... they only have effects at the spark gap, for the most part. If you touch it, you don't notice anything at all. It's the air gap between the electrode and the target that causes the (sometimes very painful) spark.

/violet wands are fun...
//especially when you hold a body-contact probe directly, so your entire body has the ability to throw sparks

choggie is down for some maintinance as well, ... whip-its and bongers, with warm water and electrodes....whoa! Teletubbies is on!!!!!

Tubby toast all gone???....naughty Noo Noooooo!

No, it’s not telekinesis; the ball is moved by a magnet, which gets the signals from the electrodes which reads the player’s brain activity. This Slate article goes into more detail, and you can also view Regis and Kelly playing it here on NovelQuest’s (the distributors) site.
