Let's play ball! Mindball is a game where two players control a ball with their brain waves. The most relaxed player wins the game by making the ball roll over to the opponent�s goal, with his brain waves as the only form of aid. Surprising, eh? A ball game without all the adrenaline and the aggression.
The brain waves are detected by sensors attached to the headbands. The sensors (electrodes) are connected to a biosensor system which registers the electrical activity in the brains.
It's hard to say who will win the game because the transition from calm to excitement and vice versa happens very quickly. Mindball is an exciting audience-friendly game where the audience can follow the game both by watching the ball on the table as well as watching the hopefully relaxed faces of the players. This innovative game turns the typical concept of competition upside down and challenges consumers to think in new ways.
