The athlete then focuses on achieving desirable brain wave patterns that, in turn, influence what happens on the screen.
Once the brain is mapped, the psychologists conduct half-hour neurofeedback sessions to teach athletes how to reach optimal brain wave patterns.
For one, brain wave monitors are hardly unintrusive, but it's a glimpse at what's possible with powerful APIs and a little creativity.
So you might think that doctors would welcome a new brain wave monitor, made by Aspect Medical Systems, that indicates whether a patient is awake or asleep.
The efficacy of countermeasures should be field tested using objective brain wave recordings that track how often controllers fall asleep in the towers, as Gore suggested in 1983.
There were brain wave readers, cloud chambers, and location tracking.
FORBES: Google Will Simplify Motorola Mobility Focus on Bigger Launches
Anthropologists tell us that our predecessors would chow down on high-calorie, fatty foods because some brain wave told them to grab a leg of deep fried Tyrannosaurus Rex whenever possible to store up fat for leaner times.
It also has 22 "Body and Brain" franchises in the U.S. at which it teaches a technique it calls brain wave vibration, a kind of "yoga for the brain" that uses rhythmic movements to "balance" your mind and reduce stress.
All of the companies vying to emerge in the brain-wave market are using electroencephalograph, or EEG, technology, which measures the brain's electrical impulses in the forehead and has long been used to diagnose epilepsy and other brain disorders.
It is a simple, painless brain-wave test, and it is about 90 percent accurate.
Compared with darkness, exposure to red light boosted alertness: The EEGs showed a significant reduction in brain-wave activity associated with sleepiness after five minutes.
This wave known as "cortical spreading depression" activates nerve cells as it goes, and the symptoms sufferers report typically correspond to the area of the brain the wave is passing over.
There were stuffed animals, rappers, ridiculous products, bad signage filled with Engrish, booth babes stuffed into tight t-shirts, guys in Elvis costumes, guys in Kiss costumes, guys in ninja outfits, guys on skateboards, guys in monkey suits, and at least one guy wearing brain-wave controlled cat ears.
The advent of roadside bombings, meanwhile, has caused a wave of brain injuries, ranging from concussions to major head wounds.
In earlier experiments, designed to replicate normal learning, Dr Tononi found that the part of the brain showing most slow-wave activity during sleep was the same as the part that had been activated during the experiment.
Functional-imaging studies of the brain have revealed another tantalizing clue: During the aura phase, a wave of electrical activity sweeps over the outer, furrowed layer of the brain known as the cortex, at a pace of 2 to 3 millimeters per minute.
The brain drain stories, the soul-lost stories, the Wave-esque misses sometimes blind us to the bigger picture.
FORBES: With New YouTube iPhone App, Google Might See Bright Side Of Apple's Scorn
Runner-up: The Maxtor Shared Storage Plus represents the wave of the future of network storage, combining left-brain network backup with right-brain media serving with the hard disk already inside.
The shock wave shattered the thinnest bone of her skull, and fragments entered her brain, the hospital said.
First the team showed that they could use the state of a region of the brain, called the medial prefronal cortex, to predict how much deep, or slow-wave, sleep a person would have.
