This breakthrough technology is integrated with a computer game that provides the user with an environment to navigate using their mind. With the Brain-4ce (pronounced "Brain Force") headset, users can perform four different actions: rotating clockwise, rotating counterclockwise, moving forward, and moving backward. Each action corresponds to a physical motion that the user imagines themselves doing.
