We live in the future now, everyone. This toy lets you move a ball around with your brain. From the Mindflex Web site:

Whenever you concentrate, you generate brainwave activity. Mindflex uses a variation of EEG technology to “read” the intensity of these brainwaves via sensors positioned on your forehead and ears. These sensors do not generate or interfere with brainwaves; they only read what is already there.Once the Mindflex headset recognizes your brainwaves, it transmits a signal to a fan within the console. This fan controls ball levitation. Your brainwaves, in turn, control the power of the fan. The more effectively you concentrate, the stronger the fan blows and the higher the ball floats. Relaxing your mind relaxes the fan’s airflow, which lowers the ball.

Emphasis added.

 so every little girl dreams of her ‘Matilda’ moment, yes? i don’t care if this is not the same thing. i want it so i can move chalk and write terrifying things to scare bullies away!
also, how can you ever ‘relax your mind’ when you just made a ball float??
