Hello everyone I've been reading this topic for a few days and would like to share my thoughts with you on the NG. I'm a 19 year old student in kinesitherapy. First I want to speak about reading the brain or body. You see we do not possess enough knowledge about the brain that's why they started the brain initiative. So instead of reading impulses in the brain with EEG, why not simply reading impulses sent to the muscles? So how I see the NG is like some kind of morphe suit that uses EMG (electromyography) it's very simular to EEG and it is non-intrusive. The only thing that needs to be worked on is how do you interpret those signals to move your avatar in game. This knowledge is based on what i found here. Sources: emg suit

I think our best bet here is nanotechnology. All I know is that would have to replicate feedback from moving joints and tonus in the muscles, this important then the sense of touch. I hope I brought some helpful information. And please excuse me for my english, I'm from belgium. Also I'm very familiar with the quote system so sorry for that :D I mean not. Sorry for spamming
