>Wired ran a story on Emotiv and competitors two years ago and I was asked my opinion on the issue of cognitive disabilities and could brainwave controllers cause a disadvantage for those with this type of disability. You are probably referring to something else but basically a lot of neuropsychologists were VERY cautious about these because they were not as tested as the field would like.

I don't know if this could confuse signals in the brain and/or cause brain fatigue (there was a suggestion by one doctor who was concerned that after using a devise like Emotiv that, say, driving a car might be more dangerous -- sort of like taking a medication that makes you drowsy).
