Mindflex Game

This game is fantastic! It is definitely hard! The only person who could manage it easily was a teenager with quadraplegic cerebral palsy who is also non verbal. It shows how much brain power it takes him to communicate. Something the rest of us take for granted :)

Es un engaño, el producto menciona nuevo y estaba usado, incompleto, en mal estado y no funcionaba

El juego llama la atención porque ofrece un sistema novedoso para jugar, el uso de la mente para mover la bolita.Claro, parece sorprendente pero sí, funciona.El juego trae un sistema, como una especie de visera que te la pones en la cabeza y lee las ondas cerebrales de concentración, cosa que permite mover la bolita en un tablero con obstaculos. La bolita se sitúa encima de un ventilador (dentro del tablero), que se enciende con la concentración. Com más concentración, más ventilador, con menos concentración, menos ventilador.Debido a esto, tienes que estar concentrandote y desconcentrandote para poder mover la bolita hacia arriba o hacia abajo y pasar los obstaculos.Está muy bien y es muy interesante, flipante, triunfo con los colegas cuando vienen a casa, PERO...el movimiento hacia adelante y hacia atrás se hace con un dial mecánico adosado al circuito, es decir es manual!! y le quita encanto, un poco... o quizás bastante...Sería fantástico mover TODO con la mente, pero no le vamos a pedir más. Es la primera avanzadilla. Después de los primeros usos ya no tiene el encanto inicial aunque sigue molando.Una cosa que no va a fallar son los colegas siempre flipan y se pelean por jugar!!Una cosa importante:PILAS: 7 pilas necesitas, 3 AAA para la "visera-lectora" y 4 pilas gordotas (no sé como explicarla) para el ventilador.Que no las trae incluídas!!El sistema de cierre de pilas es realmente incómodo, pq va con tornillo y necesitarás un destornillador.En fin, no te dejará indiferente.

If you know the premise of the toy, skip to the second paragraph. This toy takes a measure of brain activity in the left frontal lobe and, based on the amount of activity there, sends power to a fan (high power when high; low or off when low). This raises a foam ball in the air and a dial can be turned with the hands to move the ball through an obstacle course that arrange with detachable pieces.I read the other reviews. They make some good points. This toy could get boring fast. The headset does get uncomfortable after about 10 minutes. The guy who said that all it does is measure stress is way off-base. He is right that the ear clips are used to complete a circuit, but that is not all this toy does. After playing it for awhile, I can say it responds negatively to stress (i.e., the ball lowers and the fan turns off). I'm basing that off of the fact the fan tended to turn off when I would get worried about it turning off. If it was responding to stress, the power should have increased.So why am I recommending this toy? Because studies have shown that if you can increase frontal lobe activity through exercises like this, you can increase objective measures of concentration (e.g., amount of time engaged with a task) and decrease measures of impulsivity. And not just for the task where the skill was trained. So a child who got adept at playing this game should also pay better attention in school, likely increase their reading comprehension, do better on homework, etc.My recommendation is that, if this is something that is interesting to you, you buy this toy for your child and that you play it with them. Set performance goals with them and give them some sort of reward for meeting and exceeding those goals. Start small. At first, get a stopwatch and see how long they can keep the ball in the air. After that, see if they can start to raise and lower the ball a couple of times, then see how many times they can pass it through one of the hoops. And take data the whole time. Chart their data in some way so they can see the progress they are making.But get this toy!!! In labs where they do this sort of therapy, children with ADHD have shown serious improvement in functioning. Some kids are able to get off meds altogether.If you want to do a little extra research before purchasing, go to wikipedia and search neurofeedback. There's a good synopsis there with links to some peer-reviewed research at the bottom.Scott Herbst, Ph.D. (in behavioral psychology)

Ce jeu est ludique mais demande de la patience et de bonnes capacités de concentration pour le maitriser, j étais assez septique sur le concept mais cela marche vraiment

Estaría bien incluir un instructivo en español!
