1. An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense a neural signal from a human being;
a processing device in communication with the sensor, the processing device configured to receive a neural signal from the sensor and process the neural signal to generate a first signal;
a computer application configured to respond to the first signal and to generate a first haptic response signal as a result of an event within the computer application; and
a haptic device in communication with the computer application, the haptic device configured to receive the first haptic response signal and generate a first haptic effect on the human being.
