Tan Le of Emotiv demonstrates the Emotiv headset, a consumer brain-computer interface. The demo includes training the headset to recognize a user's mental commands.

HN people cite it as a working example of brain-computer input, as a possible peripheral for VR and as an illustration of how the headset's training works.
