Now do not get alarmed! I am talking about zombies here:D. But Japanese researchers have taken the first steps towards controlling a human:-?, which predictably enough, they hope to
harness into computer gaming!
By remotely stimulating a person's
vestibular system - the fluid-filled tubes in the inner ear that guide their sense of balance - with electrodes placed on the skin just below the ear, researchers at
NTT's research laboratories in Kanagawa have found a way to turn humans into oversized radio controlled vehicles:)).

Let me make you dance! (Courtesy: New Scientist)The technique, known as
galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS), unbalances a person so that they automatically veer left or right in an attempt to rebalance themselves. The NTT team developed a headset and a control unit similar to that used with remote-controlled toy cars.
The technique could be used in gaming, where a person can remotely control another person, or perhaps more nefariously, an animal. Also, it could provide a more realistic gaming experience in games such as car-racing, where you might be able to feel the car taking a sharp left turn or rolling over:D:D:D. Definitely not for the weak-hearted:)):-$.
