Toys and Games Reviews of Star Wars Science - Force Trainer
Customer Review: Don't give up, there's a "New Hope"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really cool toy for a kid. This is the future of toys. I waited to give it to my son after his birthday party... you can't just open it out of the box and master it and didn't want everyone crowding him because it's not that type of toy. It's raising and lowering the beta wave output of your brain just by thinking differently, which we don't consciously do. That is we don't link it normally to any activity (except a heart attack!) until you start to use this toy.
I must note that at first my son did his best (masters all 3 levels and all 5 sublevels) right before bedtime or right after waking up. He'll use his hand as a focus point, raising it, lowering it, etc.; when a friend is around he's learning to do it and ignore distractions. He now can even do pretty well while his sister is making fun of him.
It's teaching him concentration, and to not react as much to outside interferences. He actually plays differently in some situations; he's not distracted as much at all.
This device gives feedback on your mind, so yes, it does "read" your mind as much as a simple device can. It detects beta levels, the easiest to detect and most common ones that don't need intrusive sensors. If you are the excited type or anxious it'll peak the ball at the top. If your brain is on overload it won't work. If you are taking any stimulants (especially ADHD drugs) this won't work, you'll peg it. Interruptions play havoc. If you are really relaxed (artificially) it won't do anything. If you are taking "beta-blockers" this won't really work quite right either.
For those adults with problems, c'mon and think for a second: adults produce more beta waves than children (look at the intended age) and some are more stressed than others so don't be surprised if you can't control it right off the bat. I put it on freeplay and was talking with my wife and it'd get pegged. You need to be calm, the contacts need to be clean and your skin clean, and you need to be alone without distractions and clear your mind. I mean clear it.
This isn't telekinesis. This is a beta-wave feedback device.
Besides being a toy, I wear it while coding or data mining and it's interesting to "hear" the machine move depending on what I'm concentrating on. (Get a 9v transformer, I chew up the batteries by doing this)
I can see this turning into a multi-person game someday soon.
My suggestions: Buy the 9v transformer. If the headset doesn't make a difference if it's on or off, *it's broken*, it should flash on the base and the headset if there's no contact. Make sure your skin is clean, no lotions. Clean the contacts off with something gentle and not oily.
