Mattel Jumps Into the Neurofeedback Game with Mind Flex
Mind Flex is a game featuring an obstacle course that you must use your mind to navigate a small sphere through. The headset looks slightly different than the one included with the "Force Trainer" - it has one sensor that rests against your forehead and two more that clip onto your earlobes. Apparently the sensors use only theta-wave activity to control the sphere around the course - most likely triggered only during concentration and focus. The headset is wireless and transmits signals to the game using radio frequencies.
The sphere moves around the course using a small fan activated by your brainwaves. The fan actually makes the ball appear to levitate as it navigates through a series of hoops around the mouse-trap like course.
The Force Trainer, A New EEG Biofeedback Controlled Toy
The "Force Trainer" from Uncle Milton Industries will be one of the first mainstream EEG neurofeedback toys on the market. This revolutionary new game monitors brainwave activity and allows you to control a small ball that moves through a 10 inch training tower using focus and concentration.
Lots of pretty cool toys coming down the pike.
