They've wired an EEG headset that reads your brain into their video game to give you Jedi-like super-powers controlled with your thoughts. The core game mechanic is crushing your enemies by throwing trucks at them with your mind. The techniques that they have the player perform to become more powerful in the game are pulled straight from clinically proven techniques in neurofeedback therapy to treat ADD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. They've made that fun and competitive.
