It would be an interesting Tokyo Game Show yet again this year with NeuroSky announcing a new brainwave-controlled game developed in collaboration with Square Enix. Of course, this would mean adding yet another gaming peripheral to your already cluttered home in the form of the MindSet. The MindSet looks like a pair of headphones, where a single electrode connected to the user's forehead will read the player's brainwave information (EEG data), registering the commands and letting players perform relevant actions within the game. Would you make a beeline for this game, or do you think it is a gimmick at this point in time, rather preferring to wait for a second generation version to be released before making the plunge?
