I saw this bit from a Cowboy Bebop episode years back, but never thought I would see the day when it would be possible:

{the advert shown between 4:10 to 4:30 }:

'BRAIN DREAM! - the new game console Brain Dream catches your brain waves and puts them into action, so you control the game the way YOU want it!

Problems in game land?
Tangled cords?
Throw them away, and dream with us - let's DREAM!'

(English) Cowboy Bebop - Brain Scratch - Watching tv - YouTube

This is so cool.

Now, don't piss me off .. :laugh:

TLDR for SC:

Thought - controlled video games.

There are thought - controlled devices now IRL.

Speculation on future games includes total - immersion via 'Happy Helmet' making the player feel as though really inside the game, shown in an episode of Red Dwarf.

Existenz takes it one step further, suggesting an 'Industry - standard Bio - Port' - literally a cord plugged directly into a socket players have installed their spine allowing total immersion within one's own mind - multiplayer compatible.
