It's my understanding that the headset is in fact standard:

(from the actual paper) "The experiments are implemented and tested using a Emotiv EPOC BCI device"

(from the hyperbole article) "For $200-300, you can buy an Emotiv"

In what world would the victim not become suspicious? I think this result is framed as "if BCI-controlled gaming takes off, it doesn't take much to harvest personal data from gamers".

Also, I wonder what are the implications for interrogation methods (think CIA, not local police). They didn't test what happens if the victim is actually trying to resist, maybe even if the victim has had guidance on how to resist. I would love to know.

I apologise - I meant "nonstandard" as "my mum doesn't have one".

resisting this sort of thing is easy, just think "loud" alternative thoughts and close your eyes so you don't see the stimulus. Sing a song in your head. Anything.
