@32ndegree concentrating on something will not significantly increase heart rate and body temperature, especially not enough to be measured by such a device. Plus, heart rate cannot be measured by attaching a measurement device to the head, because there are no major arteries in the superficial skin area of the skull. The device is an EEG that measures brainwaves in the frontal cortex and parietal (or occipital lobe (not sure which one)) lobe. It detects an increase in beta-brainwaves.

THIS IS BULLSHIT IT USES HEART AND TEMPERATURE IT DOES NOT USE BRAINWAVES. ITS A GIMMICK. WAKE THE FUCK UP. PAY GOOD MONEY ITS FROM A TOY COMPANY. THEY WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY.

Some part of my body levitates too with proper brain signals.

I'd take it apart and use it to do a simple linear task.. like changing TV channels (lol) or something else... Not a very practical invention at this stage... When they can read brain waves specific to words then we'd have something... (how difficult could it be?) It would help the disabled to talk again and what not... and allow us to play real video games by thinking of words... (run, jump, left.... etc...)
