Mindflex is a toy by Mattel by which a child uses their brain waves to steer a ball through an obstacle course. Brain waves are registered by the enclosed EEG headset, which allows the child to control an air stream by concentrating, thus lifting or lowering a foam ball.
When was mindflex invented?
Released in 2009, Mattel's Mindflex is nothing short of magic. Using advanced technology, a wireless EEG headset reads your brainwave activity and uses it to guide a blue Mindflex ball through a series of obstacles.16 Feb 2011
How do you win mindflex duel?
Players don headsets equipped with EEG-like forehead sensors that measure brainwaves, and face off above a ball hovering on a stream of air. The harder they concentrate, the more each player can push the ball across the board to the opponent's end, winning the round.11 Jan 2011
Can you measure your brain waves at home?
The Wearable EEG Meditation Headset Biofeedback headsets measure your brain waves, using EEG. They're small bands that sit easily on your head and measure activity through sensors. It measures voltage fluctuations from ionic current flows within the neurons of the brain.
What device measures brain waves?
EEG
Why do we measure brain waves?
EEG: Measuring Electrical Activity in the Brain The cells in your brain are called neurons, and your brain has roughly 86 billion of them. Instead of using words, neurons communicate via tiny electrical signals that they generate. These signals go up and down in intensity, resembling waves: these are your brain waves.11 Aug 2020
How does NeuroSky mindwave work?
NeuroSky's brain-computer interface (BCI) technology works by monitoring these electrical impulses with a forehead sensor. The neural signals are input into our ThinkGear chip, and interpreted with our patented Attention and Meditation algorithms.4 Jun 2013

Is mindflex real?
The science is real! Whenever you concentrate, you generate brainwave activity. Mindflex Duel™ uses a variation of EEG technology to "read" the intensity of these brainwaves via sensors positioned on your forehead and ear. These sensors don't generate or interfere with brainwaves, they only read what is already there.
What does mindflex measure?
The devices work by detecting the brain's electrical activity, or brain waves, using electroencephalography (EEG).25 Feb 2016
