Anyone heard of this? It's a brain mouse, thing. It scans your brainwaves, and maps thoughts to keys or mouse buttons. I'm very interetsed in it (it's being sold at eBuyer UK now), but I can't find any reviews of what is a hyper-amazing bit of tech. Anyone got any information?

But, it sounds like at least some review samples have been sent out: http://www.techradar.com/news/comp [...] tor-315193

The statement "possibly one of the coolest PC peripherals we've ever encountered" has me curious.

The OCZ NIA was supposedly "shipping" last month, according to some reports. Most distributors that I have talked to say they haven't seen any yet and that it probably won't be available until late April or May. The price is supposed to be around $150.

I was thinking about this... since the NIA works by monitoring brain waves, and you apparently assign actions or keystrokes to different patterns of brain waves.

So, does drinking a lot of coffee change your brain patterns? Would I need a different calibration profile for my NIA after drinking several cups of coffee or shots of espresso? What about drinking alcohol? Would my brain waves then be too sedate after having a few beers for the NIA to function? Or perhaps I would just need to have three different calibration profiles saved for my NIA: 1 for when I am highly caffeinated, another for after I've had a few beers, and another for just normal everyday use.

Thoughts?
