EEG to machine interface has a long history.

Here's a brief article about a 1975 DARPA/SRI program that used EMG and EEG to identify words human subjects were thinking. [1] Computers were a CDC6400 and a LINC-8. The article has a link at the end to the original report (.doc download warning).

Here’s[0] a toy from the late 80s or early 90s that used an EEG like interface to let you control moving a foam ball around an obstacle course. You can see it over in Oakland at MADE.

Probably a better method than the Atari 2600 version, which gave game testers headaches, so it was cancelled.

Apparently because of the shape of the headband and not any ill effects of the techniques the device used (just voltage analysis).
