curious Research: Brain to Midi

who have not had enough of reac-table, dexter jazz mutant lemur and times should be familiar with this topic. Not too long ago I came across an entry in a Glossary I would like to share with you a source of inspiration and it has brought me much to smile but also to think. Before I take this position and ask for your opinions, please post in question:
Brain-to-MIDI The control of electronic musical instruments by alpha waves of the human brain (cerebral action currents, which can be recorded with the EEG) and heart rate (heart action currents that are recorded with the ECG), an attempt since the sixties. Currently there are serious efforts under way to use the frequencies obtained by digitization of such bodies MIDI information to control sound generators, which are collectively referred to as narcotics. The conscious individual influence of said body prepares frequencies still needs problems. from: Encyclopedia of Sound Technology, © 1995 Wolfgang Schiffner, Bärenreiter Verlag, 2nd Edition 2003, p. 12, ISBN 3-7618-1228-0
It would be interested to know how far it still in the research today deutsprachigem space Is feasible if technical developments in this direction and could Nieschenprodukte incurred thereby. Would it therefore not possible to teach as well as physically handicapped people to play the piano? brain waves that simple thoughts such as left / right and black / white already can be interpreted reliably confirm the latest developments in the field already. It is possible, for example - to control cursor by thought-currents of computers - with a little technical effort. Certainly on a limited level, but quite practical.

As an employee at State Institute for Music Research in Berlin, but I'm
more interested in the musical benefits of this technology. Interfaces and protocols such as OSC (Open Sound Control) and software solutions such as puredata or Max / MSP could generate currents in the EEG-modifiable Control Voltages (CV) or MIDI signals. So it would be possible, for example, control the modulation depth of a LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) by currents of thought, which is also a binary situation. main problem remains: how do you get an EEG? If anyone has one in the basement, should he say me know.
Otherwise I am open to all creative ideas. Is it possible to build an EEG as yourself? So with electrodes that send the brain signals via USB to the computer? Ought to be doable, right? intended for you. An American, a little bizarre contemporary times, the whole reacted with a toy. I think this video illustrates very well what I have just written, and why it will probably take a while until we obtained with this method really useful results.
