Train the Mind – the Jedi Trainer and Mindflex
Posted on | October 24, 2009 | Comments Off
Have you seen the latest in toy gadgets? Your own private EEG toy that lets you practice your “telekinesis” abilities, moving objects using nothing but brain power.
This is actually not a bad way to teach kids and grownups how to focus and reach a higher level of mental concentration. Much like bio-feedback toys, these sets pick up on your body signals and once the right frequency is achieved, the move the object for you. Obviously not real telekinesis, but a cool enough replica.
As a gift for kids, I would recommend the highly popular Jedi Trainer by Uncle Milton -
The game set is simple, with an easy to grasp target: move the ball up in the air using your “brain power”. The Star Wars appeal is immense, with the design and package putting kids into the right mindset. Have any kid wear a robe (a dark bathrobe is fine) and don on his light saber and expect hours of quiet concentration as the young jedi progresses through the 15 different levels of training, complete with audio feedback by no other than Master Yoda himself.

The Mindflex uses the very same principles, with a similar headset to measure your brain activity with. The focus is not on any particular plot or theme, but rather on an array of objects and movements to be performed. More appropriate for slightly older kids, and certainly for adults, this sophisticated set by Mattel is bound to make EVERYONE want to test their own brain powers.
