BrightMind Factory

BrainTrain’s BrightMind Factory allows you play 7 different video games using the power of thought. BrightMind reads and interprets each person’s own brainwaves and then uses this information to control the game’s action on the computer screen. BrightMind requires that you use either the MindWave Headset or the BlueTooth MindWave Mobile Headset which quickly and easily connects using dry EEG sensor technology. As you develop your brain power skills, by learning how to better relax, concentration and focus, you’ll be able to earn higher and higher scores on the games. Top scores are saved on the Top Ten list for all to see. You can practice by yourself or compete against the computer. 

What Game Modes are Included with BrightMind? 

There are seven different game modes in BrightMind, each providing over 20 levels of progressive difficulty. Each game mode is designed to be more challenging than the previous one. This not only challenges the players to remain focused, but measures their relaxation and awareness while doing so. The first two game modes, Poker Face and Clear Light, are unlocked by default. Thereafter, each game mode is unlocked after the player reaches Level 7 of the previous game. The game modes and suggestions for success with each are discussed in greater detail in the Overview help file which is available on the main menu screen. 

The game modes are as follows: 

• Poker Face – This game requires you to keep your face as relaxed as possible in order to win – in other words, you must maintain a “poker face.” 

• Clear Light – Clear Light relies on a high level of mental relaxation. Players must let go of any emotional reactions or thoughts about winning or losing and simply be present, relaxed, and alert. Reaching Level 7 will unlock the following game, Shining Star. 

• Shining Star – This game encourages players to discover what it means to be relaxed and focused. Step back, experiment through trial and error, and see how aware you can be of your own brain power state! 

• Moonlight Magic – In order to learn about this game mode, you may want to go outside on a clear night and find a place without many street lights. When you look up at the stars and see the moon shining, how do you feel? Can you evoke this magical, mysterious feeling? Quiet your mind, relax, and take a long, deep breath. See what you discover! 

• Laser Beam – Like a real laser beam, this game challenges the player to let go of their thinking while remaining mentally active. The goal is to reach a directed, relaxed, and pointed state of mind. 

• Shine On – Players are asked to use the power of positivity in Shine On. In other words, they should try to think pleasant thoughts and recall happy memories without forcing their train of thought. 

• Perfect Day – The final game mode requires the player to envision their perfect day and to focus on the positive feelings that result.
