IPhone brainwave detector in development

I came across this interesting article in the Daily Mail this evening, it sounds really interesting.

The XWave allows users to control on-screen objects with their minds as well as train their brains to control attention spans and relaxation levels.
The device - that could confuse Luke Skywalker himself - is the latest in the field of emerging mind-controlled games and devices and works via a headset strapped around the user's forehead, plugging into the iPhone jack.

I wonder would this eventually be capable of reading your mind's eye? Say, for example, I had a picture in my mind that I wanted to paint, but I wasn't a trained artist-would the detector be able to 'see' the picture I wanted to draw and form it on a computer? This would be incredible.
Imagine the uses that architects, musicians, designers etc could find with this type of technology.

Can't see how any kind of gadget could detect brain activity in people who read the Daily Mail!

OP, nothing personal - couldn't resist the dig!

Hmm. Yes.

Still it's pretty interesting technology all the same.
