Catching up on video blogs, I ran into this TED Talk from Tan Le of Emotiv. Quite impressive.

Not bad at all. I'm betting we're looking at major use in some sectors (like remote control of devices and console games) within 2-3 years. I wonder how long it will be before think-typing is faster and easier than touch typing.

I will be particularly amused if it turns out that touch-typing trains your brain to emit better-discernible signals, so you wind up with some think-typists laboriously visualizing the letters while others are imagining their hands on a keyboard.
