You think I’m joking don’t you? Well, I’m not. There is a new Star Wars toy that has been developed where you can actually use you mind to move a little Star Wars ball up and down. It may not seem like much but you are using your mind to do it. This is the perfect toy for all of us geeks out in the world to sharpen out Jedi skills with The Force Trainer.
Force Trainer uses the same technology that doctors use to monitor brain waves. The toy moves when it senses a change in the users brain-wave patterns. The toy uses a headset to monitor the brain, and then transmits a signal to a base that features a fan and a ball in a tube. The more intense your focus and concentration is the faster the fan spins. When the concentration is broken or weak the ball will drop. A uses the voice of Yoda, and the Jedi master guides you through several increasingly different levels of control.
Scientists call the technology BCI, or Brain Computer Interface, and more sensitive, medical-grade versions are used to help amputees move artificial limbs and victims of paralysis communicate using a computer and software that reacts thought.
The Force Trainer is set to come out in August and should sell for around $120.
This sounds pretty freakin cool if you ask me!
Here is a little video demo of how it works:

I totally love how the New York Post misspelled "break through" as "brake through." What, are we braking through an intersection? I don't think so.
Also, anyone else think the "headrest" looks like a yarmulke?
There is no way for me express my excitement over this product. But I'll try. Ahem.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
It's true I'm a bit more of an Indiana Jones geek, but I do enjoy me some Jedi.
man that just looks cool, can't wait to try it
AWSOME!
it's blowing air so the ball will go up
Just wait till the first idiot lets get drunk and try this.
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want one too
yeah obviously. but the headset has to activate the fan and the force at which the fan is blowing. So the person concentrating isn't necessarily controlling the ball. They are controlling the fan-which in turn is controlling the ball.
Either way, you're still using your mind to move something.
It looks really cool– I have to look into beta waves and the field that surrounds your brain thing that the New York Post guy was talking about. It looks awesome! The price….could be lower.
you guys are fucking stupid you can hear the fan when the ball goes up it gets louder but when it goes down it s not as loud
yeah we know its a fan… your brain waves trigger the fan on and off and how strong dumb ass
then if we're not going through a brake through y r u saying that?
just imagine a drunk person using it! lol!!
BIG TIME!! that piece of plastic should probably be about $50 – $ 70, itz just a pice of plastic with a toy ball being controled with ur brain, that thing wouldnt do sh#! without the stupid fan!
hey i wonder if the ball will go high if u use it when ur doing it with sumone, lol
LMAO! I can see a recall on that toy coming soon. Imagine kids across america suffering from brain aneurysms trying to make that damn ball float!
It's really amazing. The force trainer will surely be able to enhance the brain.
