Similar to EEG technology that reads the alpha and beta waves created by your brain; this telekinetic game comes with a headset equipped with forehead and ear sensors that translate your brain’s energy into a wireless signal that is sent to the game’s base station.

This is called the Mattel Mindflex Mind Control game or the Jedi Mind Control Game that requires you to bring to bear all of your latent telekinetic powers of the Force in order to keep a ball levitating.

What is the Mattel Mindflex? Well, the Mindflex is a device that monitors your brainwave activity. The more you focus on a small foam ball, the higher it gets lifted into the air via an air stream that receives the sensor signal from the game’s headband. You then use a knob to guide the ball through various obstacles. Seeing the game in action is pretty awesome, since it makes even the most untrained person look like a Jedi knight bending the Force to his whim.

The station has a tube with a ball inside (resembling the Jedi training remote Luke Skywalker used on the Millennium Falcon) that is kept levitating by a flow of air; your steady concentration adjusts the air fan’s speed, causing the ball to rise and fall.

More and more brain-controlled things will be invented and regular toys will be made obsolete. In a few generations, humans with enhanced mental capabilities will be born, capable of telepathy and telekinesis (at a larger scale than some humans are said to be able today), a new religious order will be born, dubbed the Jedi Order, meant to fight the dark side of the force, a link shared by all mentally enhanced humans.
