Why the name Mindball?

We are the makers of Mindball Game, a game where two people compete to be more focused. Mindball Game has been played by people all over the world and many have wished for their own Mindball. Now it's finally the time to make their wish come true!## How does playing with your brain work?

Your brain sends out electrical signals, all the time, without interruption. The technique used for reading (and presenting) the electrical signals from the brain is called EEG, (electroencephalography). Scientists have identified that you are focused when you produce a great amount of electrical signals with a high amplitude, within a specified frequency band. We use this technique and that knowledge in our Mindball Products.

The headband we use for moving the ball in Mindball Play picks up the electrical signals from your brain and sends them via Bluetooth. In Mindball Play our algorithm gives to what extent you are focused. We use that value to steer the ball; high focus makes the ball go faster and stay on track better, low focus makes the ball go slower or even fall off the track.

Have fun while you train your brain - prove your focus skills and practice your ability to achieve a calm mind with fun, engaging and challenging races.## Which headbands are supported?

Brainlink from Macrotellect.
For Brainlink you just need to pair the headband as a Bluetooth device and you are good to go.

Muse from Interaxon.
For Muse you need a bridge-app to handle the Bluetooth connection to the headband. Bridge-apps are available for Windows 10, Android and iOS here.

If you use a Muse headband, you can help steer your ball left or right by tilting your head to the sides. This is controlled by the gyro built in the headband.

Go Focus!
