well, even in that article they admit they (quote) "are not there yet".

According to the expert I'm talking about (an electrical engineer working on things like this), we shouldn't expect to see these things in the near future.
That said, in the far future we probably will be able to do such things. Just not now yet.

With nowadays technology, the best we can do is use some very generic, easy to detect brain signals. (these applications are completely brain-controlled, mind you. It's just not the brain-control anyone would expect)
