ThinkGear™ Connector is a program that runs in the background of your computer, allowing special games and applications to adapt to your state of mind as detected by NeuroSky's ThinkGear sensor. No configuration is required – just pair your headset with your computer, launch ThinkGear Connector, and start using TGC-enabled applications!

ThinkGear Connector is automatically installed when you install the MindWave™ or MindWave Mobile™ Installer Disc. If necessary, the installer will install other necessary application to fully setup ThinkGear Connector.

ThinkGear Connector by itself can be installed from the links below.

The eSense meters are a way to show how effectively the user is engaging Attention (similar to concentration) or Meditation (similar to relaxation).

Like exercising an unfamiliar muscle, it may take some time to gain full proficiency with each of the eSense™ meters. In many cases, people tend to be better at one eSense than the other when they first begin. We recommend trying different tactics until you are successful with one. Once you see a reaction on the screen from your efforts, you will be able to duplicate the action more easily with additional practice.

Generally, Attention can be controlled through a visual focus. Focus on a singular idea. Try to “funnel” your concentration and focus your train of thought towards pushing up the meter. Other suggestions include picking a point on the screen to stare at or imagining the action you are trying to accomplish happening. For example, look at the Attention eSense meter and imagine the dial moving towards higher numbers.

For Meditation, it typically helps to try to relax yourself. Connect to a sense of peace and calm by clearing your mind of thoughts and distractions. If you are having difficulty engaging Meditation, close your eyes, wait a number of seconds, and then open your eyes to see how the meter has responded.

If you have trouble at first in controlling your eSense meter levels, be patient. Try different techniques and practice. Also be sure to read and try to understand the Technical Description in order to get a better idea about how eSense actually works under the hood.
