The system processes brain thought patterns and can turn them into left, right and forward movements of the wheelchair with a delay as short as one-thousandth of a second. That’s a vast improvement over other systems that can take as long as several seconds to analyze and react to the user’s thoughts.”  [source]

The technology inside the game’s “Jedi Training Remote” is pretty basic, actually. The remote is a “dry” EEG-sensing device – a headset – that reads the beta-wave emissions from your brain. (Beta waves are associated with meditative states.) The harder you concentrate, the faster the game’s fan spins, and the higher the ball goes.” [source]
