Co-founded by Allan Snyder, a neuroscientist and former University of
Cambridge research fellow, Emotiv says its EPOC headset features 16 sensors
that push against the player's scalp to measure electrical activity in the
brain - a process known as electro-encephalography. In theory, this allows
the player to spin, push, pull, and lift objects on a computer monitor,
simply by thinking.

Kawashima's More Brain Training, has been used as part of a trial in
Scotland to improve children's concentration.

concentration of children - that's something I personally I believe as a
father,” he said. “In Japan, schools are using English-language training
software and they're showing results.”
