The ADD bike helmet
Yes, that little girl is unfortunately wearing a bike helmet in front of a computer screen. But beyond the obvious rough-aesthetics, the helmet is lined with sensors and connected to a computer game to help teach ADD/ADHD kids and adults how to concentrate and develop cause-and-effect thinking. "Play Attention" was developed by an Asheville-based company, Unique Logic & Technology, and is originally based on technology created by NASA and the US Air Force to help aid pilot concentration. The sensor-lined bike helmet picks up brainwaves so that the user can control the scenario of the game through thought process alone. The program costs $1,795 for home use and $2,500 for schools and learning centers.
