What started with monkey experiments and was targeted to enable brain-damaged persons to interact with a computing system has now gained the interest of the toy and entertainment industry. Using your brain waves to DO things is not anymore just something you read in Science Fiction novels but commodity reality as this Mattel toy shows. Therefore, there is hope that this technology which could halp so many desperate differently-able people will now receive a major push - because it can also be commercialized in the mainstream market. If you remember, this is what already happened with the graphics and Virtual Reality industries, that struggled in finding their killer applications - until the PC commodity hardware and inexpensive gaming hardware and software made it accessibly to the consumer market - maybe less sophisticated, but therefore so much more fun, inexpensive and lucrative.
