Mattel Mindflex Game - Give Your Brain A Workout

By Ledley Withenshaw

How the Mindflex game works is the new technology of this game enables the movement of objects with the power of your brain. The first of its kind, it unleashes the telekinesis potential of all who play it. Using your mind you will move a ball around an obstacle course on the game board.

Sensors are present inside a headset that you put on. It must fit snugly on your head. There are also sensors in the game board which contains little fans that provide the momentum in allowing the ball's fluid motion. The direction the ball goes in is controlled by your mind.

Once the headset retrieves the brains output, it then passes them onto sensors in the Mindflex game board that activate fans that make the ball rise in the air, waiting on you to tell it where to go. This is all possible by sheer concentration and focus. The adaptation of the wireless function between the headset and the game board are a unique concept in transporting thought.

The form of mind control in the ability to move objects is known as telekinesis. Telekinesis is real, and we all have the ability to perform it. Our brains charge on and off intermittently throughout the day. Psychic phenomena can occur during the off phases. To become skilled with the use of telekinesis we need to learn how to work with our brains during the "off" phase of consciousness.

Physical movement of our bodies requires energy. We build up energy from the foods we eat and this gives strength to our bodies in the form of energy. When we exercise we increase strength, thereby increasing our energy levels. Physical work depletes our energy, but the mental strain of concentration depletes our energy even faster. With the Mindflex game, you need to focus all energy and concentration on moving the ball around.

The sensors provide a buffer to the energy that we are expending. They help to carry our message to the game board, triggering the fans that in turn, cause the ball to hover over the obstacle course waiting on our mental commands. We then with brain power, direct the ball to move. This helps us to save energy and not become as fatigued as we would if learning telekinesis without the assistance of the sensors.

Mattel's new MindFlex game technology is the wave of the future. Brain waves that is. It has been said that it is extremely fun and may be a little addictive as you are using your brain to control the movements of the game versus your hand which is typical of most board games. The only thought of concern is that only one person can play at a time, at least with the present game. But as with all things, who knows what the future will bring. - 30320
