Comment Dry Contact EEG (Score 1) 112
They are using dry contact EEG technology developed by NASA. The technology apparently allows the 'brain bucket' to pick up some brainwaves and determine from that whether the wearer is focused or not.
Apparently, the game controls are very spongy and not suited for precise control. Sorta matches the way people think; sorta spongy.
What's probably more interesting is that the CTO of the company, and probably many of his trained minions are former Divx employees. You remember the hated and feared DVD rental scheme developed and ditched by Circuit City. Mr. Segal, and probably much of his technology team came from Divx (with a brief stop at iXL). So, we can probably derive that sooner or later East3 (the makers of the attention trainer device) will soon be implementing a rental scheme for thinking. So you will really have to 'pay attention'.
