It doesn't just play based on how active your brain is. It can tell what you're telling the game to do based on the helment ant it's sensors. We've been discussing this product in my Cognitive Science classes. In a racing game, if you want to turn left, then you think about turning left. It's amazing.
" There is no interactivity or user control over the "game' itself." that is a quote from the website itself <a class="user" href="http://www.smartbraingames.com/video_games.asp">http://www.smartbraingames.com/video_games.asp</a>I'd love to have this as a tool to see what games were actually stimulating my brain but alas that's all it would be good for you cannot think about turning left and your race car turn left. It's a "go-no-go" system, so it just has a state of on or off not complex control like 'walk slowly to the northwest'... but it's really exciting to see that this technology might one day turn into a device like that
I have been working in the brain fitness space since 2001 and we have come along way. There has been significant scientific studies over the last 5 years that illustrate how we can maintain and develop our cognitive skills through our lifespan. Our company has started to launch pilots that provide more efficacy to our software. I truly believe the next 5 years will see a lot of positive developments in this area.Michaelwww.fitbrains.com

I really want one...except the cost is kind of prohibitive at $548...

Sounds and looks like complete and utter BS. But if it works... it would be the best thing ever.

The technology would probably be better spent on computers with a sideline on consoles instead of the other way around...
