The AB-J had an article on Monday about a company-- a couple of them, actually--introducing games operated by mental power. They’re based on the technology that reads brain waves, sort of like the electroencephalograph (EEG) that is used to diagnose brain disorders. Mattel makes one called Mindflex ($80) and Uncle Milton Industries (Honest, that’s the name; I couldn’t make that up) has one called Force Trainer ($130). Players have to wear headsets that monitor the electrical waves coming from their brains. Relaxing or concentrating will control little fans that blow small balls through obstacle courses that make up the games. It seems to be sort of addictive, according to one user. She, her two sons and her husband all got hooked . Electronic telekinesis! You too can have super powers!
