Emotiv EPOC neuroheadset

I purchased and experimented with one of these in 2010 to investigate possible applications as a more intutive hjman/interface. I was able to "make it work" using the galvonic response electrodes, but it was extremely difficult and required a lot of practice. It does, however, also have a solid state gyro/accell package that works quite well. I decided that the "mind control" approach was pretty thin but that using head movements to control a cursor in conjunction with some sort of remote pushbutton was a real application. My background is in wearable computing as it relates to tactical equipment.
