Brain Computer Interfaces have to be one of my favourite pieces of futuristic tech around today. These are wonderfully named pieces of kit that allow a brain to interface with a computer directly. BCIs work wonders in the medical community giving patients with even very limited mobility like locked-in syndrome the tools to communicate with the world again.

The very idea of controlling computers with our minds is some seriously next generation stuff, and I can't wait to see it come to gaming. Until then, I'll be out here celebrating every win I can find in the field, and that includes this implant spotted by Ars Technica that gives users the ability to speak at an almost natural pace.
