NeuroSky Announces the Distribution of MindSet Development Tools (MDT) for Free

Now Brain-Computer Interface Technology is Available to All Developers for Free
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
NeuroSky, Inc., the leader in Consumer Brain-Computer Interface technologies for
consumers, today formally announced they will make the MindSet Development Tools
(MDT), their SDK for the MindSet headset, available as a free download from the
NeuroSky Store (http://www.neurosky.com) this week. The MDT allows programmers
and application developers to create software that communicates with the
NeuroSky MindSet headset. The MindSet was released March 24th at the Game
Developers Conference in San Francisco as a response to Independent Developers
and University Researchers who were interested in using the NeuroSky BCI
ThinkGear technology, but who did not have the ability to manufacture their own
headsets.

"Our technology brings the power of BCI to the mass market, it is up to our
partners and developers to determine the best applications for our ThinkGear
technology," said Stanley Yang, CEO of NeuroSky. "Our goal is to support
innovation, not to limit it, and having the MDT available for free will allow
developers to become more comfortable with our cutting edge products. This
technology provides added value to applications that already exist and opens up
opportunities for revolutionary new products."

"In addition to questions about developing entertainment applications, we
regularly receive requests from people who want to know if our technology can be
used for ADD/ADHD, games for health, sports training and a number of others,"
states Tansy Brook Communications Manager with NeuroSky. "We are currently
working with a number of partners like the Serious Games Institute in the UK,
who are sponsoring beneficial games applications, but we decided to make the MTD
free to expand the opportunities for both Corporate and Independent Developers.
With the right partners the possibilities for this technology are endless."

The eSense algorithms in the ThinkGear technology recognize a user`s brainwave
activity during varying levels of attention (concentration) and meditation
(relaxation), process the information into digital signals, and then transmit
the signals to a device (typically a computer) as commands. The MindSet can also
transmit detailed brainwave data in a raw wave form (including muscle movement)
for developers who would like more details about the measured biosignals, such
as breakdowns of electroencephalography (EEG) frequency bands like alpha and
beta.

The MindSet communicates with computers and devices through standard Bluetooth
serial protocols (SPP), and, using the MDT, developers will be able to create
applications for computers and devices, ranging from PCs to mobile devices.

Like the Apple iPhone App Store and the Google`s Android Marketplace,
applications developed for the MindSet will be able to be distributed on the
NeuroSky Store for sale and downloaded by other MindSet customers, as well as
through traditional distribution channels. This will allow MindSet customers to
buy and download all sorts of exciting applications for use with their MindSets.
