How did we go from implanting chips in to the brain in 2006 to a headset for mind-controlled games in 2008?!Just when I thought the game-changing (pun intended) Wii was a killer app, here comes brain power. This is impressive technology but it looks like the Wii workout will soon join the old stationary bike in the storeroom.This technology from Emotiv is quite revolutionary …

The screen shot above is from a new adventure/puzzle game by the Singapore Health Promotion Board (HPB) called Mount Power which is part of their teen outreach on neeteen, a portal for the youth. They must have figured that kids play games, so let's teach …

That's Transformers episode 1.Amazing isn't it how Transformers has... …
