  • "OKAY, GUYS.

  • OKAY, LET'S BRAINSTORM HERE.

  • OKAY.

  • OKAY.

  • SADLY, STILL NO ADVANCEMENTS ON HOW TO CONTROL THE BRAINWAVES

  • THAT IMPACT YOUR DECISION TO BLOW $500 ON A PLASTIC HEADBAND.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) AND IT'S ONE SIZE FITS ALL,

  • BECAUSE, ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY, SMALL ELECTRODES

  • AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST TO THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD, AND NO GLUE IS

  • NEEDED.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) OKAY, THAT'S DISTURBING.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT
