Debuts World’s First Brainwave Interface for iPad/iPhone/iPod
XWave device and
apps allow you to control your mind & the world around it
Sunnyvale,
Calif. – September 7, 2010
Devices Inc. today unveiled the XWave™, the world’s first
brainwave interface accessory for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. The
XWave™ is
a small device worn over your head similar to any standard headphone
device. Paired with its apps, XWave allows you to control your mind
and the
world around it.
The XWave™, powered by Neurosky Inc. technologies, for the first
time
brings an extra sensory dynamic never seen before at the consumer
level.
For years, this technology has been used by doctors to treat
epilepsy and
seizures in patients. XWave senses the faintest electrical impulses
transmitted through your skull to the surface of your forehead and
converts
these analog signals into digital signals.
The device comes bundled with the free XWave App. The App allows you
to
become familiar with controlling objects with your mind and gives
you an
opportunity to train your brain to control its attention and
meditation
levels. With the application you will have to go through different
stages
to control the function of your brain. Objectives include: having to
levitate a ball for a certain amount of time, change a color based
on the
relaxation of your brain and training your brain to maximize its
attention
span. Another app that is available for download from iTunes is
XWave
Tunes. This app will allow users to connect with each other through
the
music that stimulates their brainwaves.
“The human brain is the most powerful, complex thing in the
universe,
and for the first time, we’re able to harness it’s amazing power and
connect it to everyday technology,” said Paul Lowchareonkul, Founder
and
CEO of PLX Devices Inc. “With the development of 3rd party apps, the
potential for innovation is limitless.”
PLX Devices Inc. is also offering 3rd party software developers the
opportunity to design and develop apps through its Software
Development
Kit (SDK) program. This allows app developers to add compelling
hardware interfaces for any type of application. Whether it is
relaxation,
brain training, entertainment, games, social networking, sports,
sleep, the
possibilities are endless with the XWave hardware device. Some of
the
applications that are being developed at the moment will allow you
to play
games by controlling objects with your mind, control the lights in
your
home or select the type of music through your iPod based on your
mood.

The XWave hardware is available to purchase today September 7, 2010
and
will start shipping in October 2010 at a retail price of $99.99 from

XWave Apps by PLX Devices will be free from iTunes and the Apple App
Store
and can be directly downloaded from your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad
