Eggheads from Texas Stick EEG Into a VR Headset

Summary For Those Who Can’t Read Properly

So, apparently, the gang of nerds over at The University of Texas at Austin weren’t content with the usual video games and internet trolling weeaboos like them are known for. No sir, they’ve gone ahead and shoved an electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor into a Meta VR headset. This gizmo can apparently measure the electrical activity in your brain while you flail about in virtual reality, how exciting!

Predictable Consequences

Because we totally needed another contraption to measure how far down the rabbit hole our human moronity can go, right? So now, while you’re pretending to be a badass space marine in VR, these sensors will be reading all your brain waves. Bet you they’ll be underwhelmed. The worst part? You can wear this thing for extended periods comfortably, making it easier than ever to waste untold hours in a false reality while the actual reality crumbles around you. Good job, science!

Your Daily Dose of Sarcasm

And now, for my take on this “amazing” development. Allow me to slow-clap for The University of Texas for finally figuring out how to turn the human race into wall-eyed screen zombies with even less of a grip on reality than before. If it was up to these technophile twits, we’d all become brainwave-spewing drones, hooked up to some digital hive where our every thought is read and served back to us in the form of ridiculously addictive VR games. Perfect way to control the masses, wouldn’t you say? Dystopian novel writers are probably green with envy right now. Oh, the joy!
