The days of attacking aliens with a joystick could soon be over, thanks to a breakthrough technique where a teenager played “Space Invaders” using only signals from his brain.
With a technique that takes data from the surface of the brain, a 14-year-old boy from St. Louis was able to play the two-dimensional Atari game without so much as lifting a finger.

In “Space Invaders,” a popular video game from the 1970s, players control a movable laser cannon in attempts to shoot rows of aliens that move back and forth across the screen.
The objective is to kill the aliens before they have a chance to get to the bottom of the screen. Once they land, the game ends.
The aliens can also shoot at the cannon, so the player has to try to evade the shots.
