"The Force Trainer (expected to be priced at $90 to $100) comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower, analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities in the Star Wars films."

that is awesome!! i was watching something like that on the discovery channel awhile ago. a paraplegic used brain waves to move a mouse curser accross the screen. he could browse the internet, watch TV and change the channel, use the phone, all from the brain interface. it was really cool.

Now we get to tap into this technology and test our concentration. I wonder how hard it really is. i want to try to manipulate the ball with out using the hand gestures.

deffinetly buying this!!

DEFINITELY going to have to try this out with the kids :)

Sounds like more brain activity = more power to the fan blowing the ball = ball rises

Simple, but neat.

Check this (http://www.emotiv.com/) out. This is something similar, but it's a computer game. Look at the products page.

I think this might be the product you saw Braxus. There's a news article about that at the bottom of the page about a brain powered wheelchair.

My luck, I'd hook it up to my melon and the little ball would start tapping sixes over and over.....
