    WOW! Click here for coolness.
    It's called the Mind Flex.
    Pretty cool.

    It's just a fan though.
    You hook up nodes to your forehead and earlobes and it detects electrical surges.
    It may be brain waves, or just your nervous system.
    A report on amazon says that it just completes a +/- circuit that changes in intensity
    when you lean in and out during 'concentration', though.
    When you concentrate, the ball goes up, when you relax, it moves down.
    You use a knob to move it in a circle.
    You can use it through obstacles, or shoot it through a funnel, or beat the lights.
    Or race the clock, or just do freestyle.

    It's 80 bucks though. :eek: =.=

    It's been reported to sharpen the mentally disabled or impaired peoples' minds. (ie. autism, ADD)

    I seen a documentary about this...

    They tried it to normal people-they got them drawing pictures of a dog.

    They had before and after pics-these people were truly crap-but after the treatment they improved from a 5yr's standard to 15.

    These people ranged from 18 to 22 if I remember correctly-it wasn't much but it did work.

    That's something else though.

    I'm talking about the much simpler and publicly available type.

    Not a test thing that can't be bought.

    This was done at a university.

    It's the same process-electrodes in brain.


    And you DID say this new one is 80 bucks-so it can be bought-unless you re-word it.


    The one I saw was YEARS ago-before I embraced romU.

    I have a device to play computer games with my mind. It would work better if the headband actually fitted my head, my head is too small. I did manage to jump around the safehouse in wolfenstein though.

    Its worth a punt anyway.Its a plus that Toys R Us sell it as if it breaks they are usually very good at replacing or refunding.

    encephalic things.

    Yeah, in biomedical engineering, it was learned years ago. Since our head will produce different frequencies and amplitude whenever we think something, so we can use EEG and save the waveform, and then predict what waveform will match with what we think.

    In my university, there is a mouse that moved from what you think.

    Useful, for a lazy thinker person.

    Why do I have a feeling I would laugh my ass off seeing you use that thing? If I had one it wouldn't work or something would go haywire and crash everything and that too would be funny as hell.
