Now here’s something that will end up at the bottom of the toybox next Christmas. The Mindflex lets you control a floating ball around a little obstacle course. Air bumps and pops the ball through hoops and tubes and ends up frustrating you more than anything else.
If you’re really into biofeedback - the thing sense your concentration - or your paralytic and have little else to amuse yourself with, this might be for you. Otherwise, I expect the average pre-teen will eventually just sit on this thing out of general principle.
What you see here is really all it does: you put on a helmet and move a ball.
THis is very cool. I want one already.
John, maybe instead of using your mind to play this game you should use it to learn how to write.
This is not for pre-teens but for old guys like me!! I want one.
Interesting, it looks sort of like the game in that one episode of StarTrek TNG.
I can see many buying this to rip apart and hack it into something more interesting. They should offer the device as a platform to allow others to build more interesting games and such from it. Either that or at least make it part of the Wii and maybe some thinking games.
Love the mind control, but the “manoeuvre a polystyrene ball through an obstacle course” style game has been around about 25 years.
I could see competitions developing around this and how well you can focus your mind. Maybe this could have some kind of online function where it has a second ball that moves around in the same field based on what the other person is doing.
Oh man it’s becoming REAL! Riker’s game from Star Trek…

A thought gang. Consider we have an aging society who, if hey want to prevent dementia if they don’t have it, slow it if they have the beginning signs, or those trying to recover from brain injury, improve cognative function, improve ADD, or are recovering from a brain injury. Then there are those who have a need to lower blood pressure. Great for all of the above.
Consider those children whose parents limit the use of sensless tv, cell phones, or video games (all are fine in moderation.) then this so called toy is good for the brain
fuck all yall losers.
get a life
i hate niggers!
Come on Mike (i.e., TC Staff). Remove the ignorant comment above already. I’m offended that this type of mind is a TC reader and that TC staff has yet to remove this.
