The result: science, and hilarious shock videos.<\/p>\n<p>The original Mindflex headset indicates how hard you&#8217;re concentrating with a series LEDs. But with a little ingenuity and an electroshock kit, the devilish geniuses at Harcos turned it into something of a torture device:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Harcos hooked up the leads of the LEDs to a transistor\/resistor relay network so they&#8217;d instead activate an electric-shock kit made by QKit. The end result? Concentrate a little, and you&#8217;ll get zapped a little. Concentrate hard, and you&#8217;ll get an electrical pulse that will make you think you&#8217;ve wandered onto the set of Green Mile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, the more worried you are about getting shocked, the higher the voltage. Which is cruel. And unusual. And so much fun to watch.
