Scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute and the Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany, have created a brain-machine interface that translates brainwave signals into letters and words.

Although the current invention is still crude, it's easy to imagine that in the future, you won't have to type out your letter, just think it out!

...in the long term, such a brain-machine interface could replace the joystick in electronic gaming or serve as a communication tool for people unable to speak or sign.

"We are dreaming of something like a baseball cap with electrodes in the cap that can measure the brainwaves," said one of the scientists behind the project, Klaus-Robert Mueller of the Fraunhofer Institute.

"People could just put on the cap and have a wireless connection from these electrodes to a computer and they can play video games."

I was thinking the exact same thing! :) Man, that game was so much fun to play. I still own the game so I think I'll try playing it later!

I wish sometime in the future I can travel to Mexico just to experience the "Day of the Dead" festival and see the beautiful beaches.

I've been thinking about getting Dia De Los Muerto themed tattoos for a while. I'm still considering it. I love the art and the culture behind it, but I'm not Mexican at all, so I don't know if it would be offensive or something to the actual culture.

But I think the image on that video at :26 would look really cool on my back or forearm. :)
