Re: [MLUG] Electrode contact controls

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

This seems to take electrical stimulus from muscles? How does this differ
than doing it using electrodes around the head? How fine tuned was their
controls? I've used electrodes on the head before to control a mouse but
it took a lot of work to learn and major concentration to maintain. I'd
think being attached to muscles would be even harder as you'd have natural
slippage as things moved around. Or am I missing something? I'd like to
see their neural net though! I see this being used in video games before
serious real world things if it's at all affordable and painless and if
you don't have to go through major teaching processes. Quake? Woo.
