Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute and the medical school at Berlin Humboldt University have devised the Berling Brain-Computer Interface, or BBCI. Almost indistinguishable from the type of cunning chapeau one might find at a couture fashion show in New York or Paris, the BBCI is designed to allow paralyzed patients to use computers and for amputees to operate electronic limbs by simply thinking commands. It’s been called the “mental typewriter,” but it’s also handy for no-hands video-game playing. Which would make them mind games, ironically. Of course, we’re thinking of another no-hands use for it.
