About Neuro X Mosebetsi wa Sehlooho: Sesebediswa sa ho Koetlisa Tsepamiso ya Kelello
Mongolo wa Buka: Neuro X ke sesebediswa sa ho bapala se koetlisang tsepamiso ya kelello bakeng sa bana ba dilemo tse hlano le ho feta. Sete e na le di-N-block tse nne le sethokgwana se le seng sa hlooho. Sethokgwana sa hlooho se bokella matshwao a maqhubu a boko ka mokgwa o sa senyeng mmele, mme se a romelle ho di-block ka kgokahano ya wireless. Block e nngwe le e nngwe e fetola di-electromagnet tsa yona tsa ka hare, e le hore ferrofluid e leng ka hara motswako o thehilweng ka metsi e fetole sebopeho le sekgahla sa yona. Tsepamiso e matla ho hlahisa dibopeho tse ntseng di fetoha haholo le tse rarahaneng. Di-block di ka fapangwa ho batlisisa maemo a fapaneng a boima. Dikarolo tsohle di entswe ka dintho tse sireletsehileng mme di koetsoe ka tshireletso e tsitsitseng.

- Unique Properties
- Children naturally face challenges with attention control during development, but criticism can harm their confidence. Studies show that unconscious focus during play and exploration supports prefrontal cortex development. We aim to use play as a tool to aid this growth. The attention-training toy employs a commercial tgam module to capture eeg signals, using them to control ferrofluid's shapes and rhythms, enabling "thought-driven interaction." This merges physiological signals with physical materials, blending art and technology to create a unique experience that fosters sustainable attention development.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Product Dimensions: N-blocks: Width 180 mm x Depth 180 mm x Height 60 mm, medi-headband: Width 210mm x Depth 240mm x Height 45mm Recommended Age: 5 and over Recommended number of players: 1 Kit includes: 4 N-blocks, 1 medi-headband

- Production Technology
- Technically, we have made this a reality. The headband includes a commercial tgam module that non-invasively collects eeg signals. The n blocks receive the collected signals via bluetooth, adjusting the internal electromagnetic strength to activate and reshape the ferrofluid immersed in a water-based solution. The ferrofluid supports diy at home and can be made using edible oil and iron powder. All toy components are made from safe materials and are securely sealed.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge lies in reducing costs, making it affordable for more families.
- Research
- The goal of this project is to provide an entertaining and educational attention training toy for school-aged children. Through expert and user interviews, the design integrates neuroscience and educational science, taking into account brain development needs and children's emotional needs to create a child-friendly design. After conducting market and technology research, feasibility and financial analyses were carried out. The final design won two international awards and two domestic Chinese awards, receiving endorsements from experts and recognition within the industry.
- Inspiration
- Ferrofluid is an interactive and safe material that, under the control of an electromagnet matrix, can create diverse shapes and movements. It captured my younger sister's curiosity, as she perceived it as a living creature she could interact with. Therefore, I aim to create a unique narrative connection between humans and the material, enhancing this interaction to meet the emotional needs of children during their growth process.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, in April 2023 and completed in Beijing in August 2024. It won the second prize at the Beijing division of the China international university innovation competition in 2023 and was awarded the European product design award, IDA bronze, and the China design award in 2024.
- Operation Flow
- Step 1: Put on the medi-headband, place the n-blocks on a flat surface, and power on both devices. Step 2: Focus your attention while the medi-headband collects the data. Step 3: The n-blocks process the brainwave data, causing the ferrofluid moves with signal strength. Greater focus creates more dynamic and intricate shapes. Step 4: Swap out the n-blocks to explore different levels of difficulty.
