NeuroSky MindWave Headset

Once you get used to the idea of wearing this on your head, you can forget about it and watch the screen for the Apps to show you which brainwaves are emitted.The Apps provided are mainly geared to the schoolchildren market, when adults could also benefit. For grown-ups you can see your "Attention" and "Meditation" scores being graphed, which is fine, but I do need some more tips on how to influence them.There are other free Apps, along with paid ones, on the Neurosky website, as this is an Open Source technology, which are well worth checking out.I haven't yet succeeded in getting the headset to pair with my iPhone nor iPad, which is a shame, as iTunes has a very interesting App which shows your brainwaves in response to listening to music.One day you should be able to control instruments using your thoughts like in the film "Firefox", so this is an interesting glimpse into the future.

BRILLIANT GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

I have Windows 7 on 3 computers and very occasionally I have managed to make a connection between headset and Dongle. The driver for the Dongle appears to be the problem. I have given up trying to get thinkgear connector to connect. Absolute waste of money keep away from this product, i've never had such a problem with trying to get something to work even with the software update. This is a good idea problem is it just doesn't work.

Beautifully packaged, clear instructions and a SDK to start making your own applications for it.Unfortunately, the head gear is a bit too tiny for my own head (and I'm sure my head size isn't that far off the curve!)All in all, highly recommended!

Have used it with NeuroCoach from the App Store and has really helped in several areas, from attention control to stress relief (which coincided with me sleeping better). Life changing? Perhaps.Headset is easy to use and pair up and once on you forget you are wearing it.Highly recommended, but get the right Apps with it otherwise it does not fulfill it's potential.

I find the software to be quite temperamental but I think this is because of Windows 8. Other than that the idea is good and it gives me a decent view of my concentration etcetera based on my brain waves. Interesting technology and I'm curious to see how it advances.
