Brainfingers

A story on Brainfingers two years ago:



A video posted two weeks ago:

I would love to play with one of these. Unfortunately: "Total Cost in US dollars: $2,100.00 plus shipping (does not include taxes or duty where applicable)."

However: "It is possible to rental a Brainfingers system for 30 day periods. The cost of renting is $495.00 plus shipping. If after renting you decide to purchase the system the rental cost can be applied to the purchase price. The rental cost covers the cost of training and support during the rental period and refurbishing of the system when returned to us."

Maybe I can get a deal on an old rental model. Then I will learn to control the stock market with my mind.

I just watched a show on the discovery channel on this. There is a paraplegic man who was the first to have a permanent diode or receiver/transmitter inserted into his brain. Crazy stuff. He was also working on opening and closing a prosthesis hand with brain waves only.

They also showed tiny transmitters that can be surgically placed in the back of the eyes for people who are losing their vision due to macular degeneration.

I've been doing this for years, without the aid of technology.
