One dimensional Controls a fan that controls the height of
a ball Requires training time Priced at about $100 Reversed engineered to see how they
work
Interprets beta waves Uses one electrode on the
forehead and two references behind the ears
Uses an algorithm to control the fan
Interprets fluctuations in brain waves
Uses two electrodes on the forehead and two references on the ears
