New games powered by brain waves
January 10, 2009
Tim Sheridan, wearing a headset containing sensors for the forehead and earlobes to measure brainwave activity, uses his mind to raise a small purple foam ball as he demonstrates the Mindflex game at the Mattel display at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 8, 2009.
An elderly Chinese woman wearing a headset concentrates intensely on a small foam ball and it begins to rise slowly into the air.

Yes, toy makers are using it for a system that has two states (concentrating and not concentrating). If you want little games that do the same (or perhaps you want to try coding bit by bit, byte by byte), I'm sure someone can make them available commercially, but this technology has not gone nearly far enough to do much more advanced tasks. Yet.
