I did do a search to see if this had been posted already and couldn't find anything, but apologies if I just didn't try hard enough and it's out there 
Found this article on the BBC website today and thought it was worth sharing - basically some company has designed a headset that measures electrical activity in your brain and translates it to actions in a game. For example it is able to read certain emotions and use that input to control the emotion shown by your avatar.
The video that's linked to in the article is worth checking out too - it demonstrates a guy lifting an in-game object by imagining it.
Pretty cool stuff, goes on sale later this year it seems! Maybe in a couple of years the Wiimote will look like a really crude way to control your character...
