Gift Guide: Move a Ball With Your Brainwaves in Mindflex

There's already more than enough distractions in the world right now, so how about giving kids a game that nourishes concentration for once? Mindflex not only rewards the most focused player, but it also features a headset that reads the player's brain waves and allows players to move a ball around an obstacle course using only their mind. Which is amazing.

It sounds like there's a bit of a learning curve at first, as players must master the art of levitating a small ball using their minds. But this seems like an ability well worth mastering, and once players become adept at the exercise, they can design endless obstacle courses to test their abilities and even play challenging games against up to four players. Appropriately, the headset looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie.
