Computer connections
The Berlin brain-computer interface is the brainchild of German scientist Klaus-Robert Mueller and colleagues. With only 20 minutes' practice, people are able to use the device to control computers with their minds.
If researchers can speed its processing power enough, the device could herald high-speed gaming, direct from brain to computer. 'Complex human-machine interactions are a long way off, but they are possible - I'm optimistic,' says Mueller.
