 +ThinkGear™ is the technology inside every NeuroSky product or partner product that enables the device to interface with the wearers’ brainwaves. It includes:
 +
 +  * the sensor that touches the forehead, 
 +  * the contact and reference points located on the ear pad, and
 +  * the onboard chip that processes all of the data. 
 +
 +{{ :asic1.gif?121|}}
 +Both the raw brainwaves and the eSense Meters (Attention and Meditation) are calculated on the ThinkGear™ chip.  The calculated values are output by the ThinkGear chip, through the headset, to a PC.
 +
 +Types of data output from ThinkGear chips:
 +  * **Raw sampled wave values** (512 Samples/sec)
 +  * Signal **poor quality** metrics
 +  * **eSense Attention and Meditation** meter values
 +  * **EEG band power** values for delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma

 +====== Headsets ======
 +The ThinkGear technology (as an ASIC or module) is embedded into different types of headsets.  NeuroSky currently sells the MindWave Mobile 2 headset.
