techRivet has published more than a few articles about new user interfaces [linky], one of them dealing specifically with Brain Computer Interfaces [BCI]. But here is a company that is actually in the process of bringing BCI to market.

NeuroSky has developed a cost effective bio sensor and signal processing system for the consumer market. Our wearable technology unlocks worlds of new applications such as consumer electronics, health, wellness, education and training.

This is still vapor ware but there is some degree of non-hype to it

Yang is secretive about his company's product lineup because of a non-disclosure agreement with the manufacturer. But he said an international toy manufacturer plans to unveil an inexpensive gizmo with an embedded NeuroSky biosensor at the Japan Toy Association's trade show in late June. A U.S. version is scheduled to debut at the American International Fall Toy Show in October. - USA Today

Cool. Not wetware, but still BCI. If they are able to actual deliver this to market...well we'll just have to wait and see.

This is kinda the opposite of the Morse Code beats SMS interface article from a week ago. This might be snappy new technology, but will its performance surpass the current keyboard/mouse/screen UI? Because that is the most successful / fastest / lowest-barrier-to-learn interface so far developed.

Verdict: cool as a margarita on hot summer day...but I'm gonna wait for version 2.0.
