quote:Teenage boys and computer games go hand-in-hand.
Now, a St. Louis-area teenage boy and a computer game have gone hands-off, thanks to a unique experiment conducted by a team of neurosurgeons, neurologists, and engineers at Washington University in St. Louis.
The boy, a 14-year-old who suffers from epilepsy, is the first teenager to play a two-dimensional video game, Space Invaders, using only the signals from his brain to make movements.
This is so freakin' cool! Think of the applications beyond entertainment, prosthetics being the obvious example.

I read about this a few weeks ago. I know this sounds terrible, but I'm almost jealous of this guy.
