The OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator or NIA for short is something quite spectacular, it use’s your brain to send controls to your PC!

Well this little unit has probably been the most successful in actually reaching that goal. The NIA is worn on the forehead, similar to the sweatbands worn by tennis players. It is extremely light, weighing only a few grams in total!

While some of you may be aware, these types of units have been released before claiming they can tap into the brains electric signals and convert those into commands to control your home PC. However most struggled to interpret the signals correctly and ended up falling away. The NIA is different in that it reads facial expressions and muscle movements. 

This little baby has been designed to be used in conjunction with your mouse and keyboard. By adding an extra peripheral with which to control your in game characters. Think about never having to press the Space bar again to jump, you could just raise an eyebrow!

In practise the device works as well! If you take a look at a few reviews from PCFormat and Gamesradar they all confirm that it does work! The only catch being, how much the individual can control the device. 

So if you think this little baby is for you, then give it a bash, it is retailing in the US at around $150. The OCZ NIA is definitely a taste of the future when it comes to extrasensory controllers and instead of trying to re-invent the mouse, they have added something to compliment it.
