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
