The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.

Fuck Mattel. Lets face it… they try to record a very small signal which is coming from somewhere inside a splashy grayish mass of living cells and blood vessels…shielded by an mm thick skull surrounded by muscles, skins and hairs… Everybody who expect that this toys can really do more rather then playing a bit around with the noise-level here is an analogy… try if you could place some electrodes outside on your PC chassis and try to record the content of the ALU of the third core of your quad-core processor in real-time during that you should run a povray rendering on all four cores, play MP3 on the internal sound card.

A study from researchers in Spain found that this electrode device could detect changes in the brain when people were shown images intended to elicit positive emotions, and these changes were in line with what would be expected from earlier research studies. Graeme Moffat, director of scientific and regulatory affairs at Muse, acknowledged that more electrodes are better for interpreting EEG data.
But having 64 electrodes isn't practical for a portable EEG system because it would be difficult to transmit all of the data wirelessly, and consumers probably wouldn't want to wear such a device. But Moffat said that portable EEG can be an effective technology in certain settings, mainly those where a user is sitting relatively still. One way that commercial EEG systems can make up for having fewer electrodes is to study data from thousands of users, Moffat said.
This can help companies improve their algorithms and "get more out of less," he said. Participants in Muse's volunteer research programs "share several orders of magnitude more data in a single month than a typical EEG laboratory would collect in a decade," Moffat said.
But even with these sharpened algorithms, a portable EEG system still won't be able to do all of the things that a wired EEG system can do in the laboratory, he said. Therefore, companies have to be careful not to overpromise or make claims that are ahead of the technology. InteraXon is now working with app developers to help them better understand the data collected from EEG systems and the limits of this technology, Moffat said. The company wants to "encourage, not just our own developers, but the community, in thinking about what the headsets can do and can't do, so the experience isn't disappointing for users," Moffat said.
Mattel's rep explained how the brainwave reader is based on EEG technology that's been available for years in hospitals but never applied to mass-market games. I tried to listen, but was distracted when I realized that I was already making the ball fly in the air.
After a few runs, I relaxed--but concentrating on anything other than the ball produced big ball drops, so to speak.
Maybe that's because I have a one-track mind. Mindflex is meant to be a party game, and several modes involve light-chasing, timed obstacle runs, and point-scoring minigames meant to be played in rounds with friends. How else could Mindflex be flexed? We're sure someone will think of ways. We do know this: 9-year-olds everywhere are going to be screaming to Mom and Dad for the game with levitating objects and mind control.
