Wow, incredible what those scientists can do nowadays. Makes you wonder just how little we understand the brain and ourselves.

Exciting as it is as it would help bring us into the next generation of home entertainment potentially, it still gives me the creeps when they talk of robots.

niiice...good point about the entertainment possibilities for this!

It's about time games started being more than vibrating controllers with smooth graphics!!

Imagine being put into a position of mentally and physcially feeling the fear while playing a game...awesome!
