If you like a good freak show along with comics, you need to check out Comic Con Denver. This year will be the second time it will be held here and this time Stan Lee will be there, along with many other well-known cartoonists. But half the fun is the people watching: fans lose all their inhibitions and dress accordingly.

Unveiled at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Necomimi is the world’s first brain-controlled feline-inspired headgear that uses forehead muscles to control the movement of a pair of cat ears. After a brief calibration period, the battery-operated, skull-mounted stuffed animal/fashion statement perk up, flatten, or flutter a pair of furry ears while picking up subtle movement from the head. Japanese fashion and electronics company Neurowear created Necomimi after the founder’s shyness resulted in a lot of alone time. She studied her cat’s physical communication and replicated it with Necomimi, which sends bio-sensory feedback to others. (Note: hair gets in the way.)

Those of us who are familiar with The Diving Bell and the Butterfly know that the late editor-in-chief of French Elle, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a massive stroke and blinked the words of his eponymous memoir. Working with similar muscles, NeuroSky is a company that develops Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology, and Necomimi is one of the first consumer products for the public. Finally, a reward for those of us without Botox; plus, besides being cheaper than most treatments that minimize fine lines around the mouth, we have even less reason to talk to strangers.

Comic-Con is a visual and media extravaganza in San Diego for the finest in sci-fi, animation, film and video games. This is the Mardi Gras for nerds and I love it. This year’s Con was amazing, from the preview of Ridley Scott new film, Prometheus, to the Frank Miller comedy, Holy Terror, and even a survival guide on how to deal with the long lines. Wired magazine’s coverage of Con is awesome, from videos and news, to images, they make you feel like you are right there. Pass the popcorn.
