Very Different Gift: Telekinetic Obstacle Course

September 22nd, 2009

This is the game that uses your focused brain waves to maneuver a ball through an obstacle course (video available at this link). A headband and two earlobe clips measure theta wave activity produced by your brain (similar to EEG monitoring technology used by medical professionals). As you relax and concentrate, the headband sends a wireless signal (based on your mental commands) to the game’s air fan, which increases or decreases its speed, suspending or lowering a foam ball; a knob enables you to turn the gameboard in order to move the ball through one of eight obstacles, including hoops, teeter-totters, baskets, or chutes. The obstacles may be interchanged; includes nine total obstacles. Requires four C batteries and three AAA batteries. Ages 8 and up. 15 1/4″ L x 10″ W x 5 1/2″ H. (2 lbs.)
