NeuroPlus brain-controlled games help improve your concentration

The brain is like a muscle, and you can train it to improve your concentration. That’s the idea behind NeuroPlus, a startup that has created a brain-training device that helps people with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) improve their ability to concentrate.

That ability to focus is crucial at work, in the classroom, and on the road. It’s a basic life skill that comes harder for millions of people with ADHD. The Durham, N.C.-based company has launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, and with five days to go, it has already beaten its goal of hitting $100,000. It has raised more than $110,000 from 420 backers. NeuroPlus has created a headset that detects your brain waves, using electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors to detect the electrical activity in your brain. It can detect whether you are focused, distracted, or even asleep.
