A bed too small, January 8, 2010 By  Laraine P. Anderson (Salt Lake City, Utah) – See all my reviews    Durability: Fun: Educational:  Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) Okay, the picture online shows a Zhu Zhu enjoying a rather spacious bed/confinement, and because I wanted to give my grandsons a place to put their pets when not in use, I purchased the brightly colored beds…one green and one orange. The hamsters fit snugly in the beds with barely a millimeter to spare. Then the boys, ages 5 and 4 promptly lost the beds among the Christmas rubble, which sent me scouring the house to recover them. So these beds were cute, but not very practical and too expensive for my taste. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews   Was this review helpful to you?

Mindflex–featuring a headset that reads your brain waves and a levitating foam ball–is the kind of game that must be seen to be believed. Recommended for players aged eight and older, the game begins when you strap on the headset so you can use your powers of concentration to move the ball around the game console and through a mind-bending obstacle course. A dial-in console lets you to keep the ball lifted on a cushion of air, but raising and lowering the ball (more…)

The intent of the “game” is to control a ball through a series of obstacles set up by the player. The height of the ball is controlled by the headset, which measures Theta brain waves – 30-50 Hz electromagnetic waves associated with concentration. The more you concentrate, the stronger the Theta wave signal and the higher the ball is elevated by the console fan. When trying to control the ball, there is a noticable 2-3 second lag in response time. This is most likely due to the long sampling time required to measure such a low frequency signal. The thing that makes this toy revolutionary is the “dry” EEG sensors in the headset. EEG/EKG sensors have been around for years, but they usually require some type of conducting gel (i.e. medical goo) to ensure good electrical contact with the skin. The sensors Matel use were developed by NeuroSky. These sensors are small metal devices which connect to the ear lobes (providing an electrical reference) and a single sensor at the forehead (the control signal). While the sensors may be revolutionary, they make the headset very uncomfortable to wear. Wearing the headset more than 5-10 minutes will result in a headache as the metal sensor digs into your forehead. All-in-all, the Mindflex will provide a few hours of entertainment, and then finds its way to the back of your shelf. Even so, the $80 list price is worth it for those who want to get their hands on the lates in toy tech.
