I remember being fascinated by the idea back in the day, and some biofeedback devices did come out, but they required user training and worked so badly as to be unusable except as a simple demo.

I was always fascinated by that stuff too, but none of it ever worked a damn. When I worked in Computer City in the mid-90s, we had a demo station for a device called Minddrive. Instead of ostensibly reading the electrical impulses on your head, it did so from your finger. There was zero reliability or repeatability with any of it, and, from what I've heard, it was the same thing with Atari's early 80s implementation of the concept. ======================================================== Bill Loguidice, Managing Director; Armchair Arcade, Inc. <https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/> ======================================================== Authored Books <http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Loguidice/e/B001U7W3YS/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_1> and Film <http://www.armchairarcade.com/film>; About me and other ways to get in touch <http://about.me/billloguidice> ======================================================== On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 1:49 AM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
