those into a video game on the screen. Then, people are able to play the video 
game using the brain waves.
<P></P>Patients try to use a brain wave to move objects on the monitor, like a 
space ship. If a brain wave has an irregular pattern, so will the space ship. 
Patients then try to even out the brain wave while using their mind to move the 
ship back in place.

migraines or meltdowns or whatever it is they're having problems with," said

she's treated, 70 percent have reduced or eliminated their medications.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A6541163-C370-4A9F-9432-D4BFFE17BE6E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
