I was really surprised at first at how high I could get the balls to float. That made me suspicious. So I hooked the connectors up to my fingers and got the same results. I closed my eyes (nearly falling asleep) and got the same intermittent rising and falling of the float balls as when my eyes were wide open and when the headband was connected to my earlobes and over my L eye. I have to say I was exceedingly disappointed because I really wanted to improve my mental abilities. It doesn't really seem to use theta waves at all (just galvanic action, I'm guessing, through my fingertips) to get the battery current to flow through the remote headband that turns on the fan motor which floats the balls.

I wanted to try this at CES, but I was unwilling to wait in line. Is it just me, or does this guy look like Tom Cruise? I wanted to try this at CES, but I was unwilling to wait in line.
