Do you want to discover how powerful your mind is? Then the Mindflex is for you. It is an innovative mind control game that combines technology with the power of your mind for an interactive experience to move objects and shapes. So how does it work? When you concentrate, brainwave activity is created. Mindflex picks up these brainwaves using EEG technology, which determines how strong your thoughts are via sensors in the headset that’s included in the toy set. Mindflex transmits these signals to a fan. The more you concentrate, the harder the fan blows, causing the ball to go up and move. By the time you relax, the fan will run slowly, making the ball go down.

The Mindlfex Brainwave game allows you to guide the ball in passing through a customizable mind-bending obstacle course as fast as you can. You can do that without physically holding the ball but using your mind’s power. To start off, wear the headset and put on the ear clips to each earlobe. Turn the headset and the console on and presto! Using your concentrating powers, raise and lower the ball.

The Mindflex comes with the following components: 1 game console, 1 headset, 5 rings, 1 funnel, 4 shelf panels, 4 balls, 3 ring towers, 1 teeter-totter, 2 maze cages, 2 wall panels, 1 propeller wheel, and 1 cannon. You will need 4 ’C’ alkaline batteries for the console and 3 ‘AAA’ alkaline batteries for the headset. This brainwave game from Mattel is suitable for ages 8 and up. Interested?
