Nintendo's Wii may not be due an appearance for another eight weeks (in the UK, at least), but that's no reason not to speculate about the nature of game control in the farther future -- a point in time when manipulating any type of controller with your hands in order to make things happen on screen may seem a little old-fashioned.
Older readers may recall Atari's pioneering (if ill-fated) Mindlink system, which attempted to revolutionise game control by pulling physical joysticks out of the loop in favour of measuring muscle activity in users' heads; now, researchers at Washington University have successfully engineered an interface that turns signals transmitted from the brain into controller input for a game of Space Invaders.
