Atari did this as a prototype in the 1980's

I was reading a book by Chris Crawford not too long ago where he mentions working for Atari in the 1980's and he mentioned they had a prototype of a controller done with hookups to your head where you could control a game via mind control. He side the downsides of the controller were that people experienced severe headaches after using it for a long time!
