Design team creates electric skateboard controlled by brain waves (Digital Trends)

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Digital Trends - Built by the same development group that created the Kinect-controlled Board of Awesomeness, the research division of Chaotic Moon Studios has announced the Board of Imagination. While wearing a wireless neuro-headset designed by Emotiv, the rider on the electric skateboard simply visualizes a point off in the distance and think about how fast they want to travel in order to reach that point. The signal from the brain is ???translated??? by the headset and communicated to a Samsung, Windows 8-enabled tablet via a USB connector. The software on the tablet interacts with the all-terrain skateboard and sends the rider flying down the road up to 32 miles per hour. In order to stop the board, the rider thinks about the upcoming point of arrival.
