Trans-cranial Magnetism is mentioned at the end of the article
HYPNO-tisability may be a brain wiring issue/option – the easier you go into trance, the more disparate your brain hemispheric, stoking a biological basis for hypnosis…

It’s a headline, innovative & primo EEG neurofeedback toy and the first of a wave of them to hit the market. This is includes Barbie (Mattel) Mindflex and the Emotiv hat. This paradigm-shaking new game monitors brainwave activity and allowing you the user to control a small ball moving through a 10 inch training tower using nothing but mental focus and concentration.
It’s good tech. You control a ping-pong ball by the power of your mind. No really. The main unit is a Star Wars branded base, liberally laced with red LEDs, out of which climbs a clear plastic tube more correctly termed the Jedi Training Tower.

The Eyeport is an electronic vision training system that claims to improve your visual performance. “Through a combination of sound, color and light, the Eyeport optimizes the ability of the eyes to aim, track, focus and work together as a team,” according to the company’s site. Invented by Dr. Jacob Liberman and cleared by the FDA, the Eyeport certainly looks strange, but it’s supposed to be easy to use. (Just don’t poke your eye out.)

It’s common knowledge that a proper exercise regimen can do wonders for the body. Only recently, however, have psychologists and gerontologists aggressively applied the same principle to the mind.
Among people who work with older adults, the concept of “cognitive fitness” has become a buzzword to describe activities that stimulate underutilized areas of the brain and improve memory. Proponents of brain-fitness exercises say such mental conditioning can help prevent or delay memory loss and the onset of other age-related cognitive disorders.
