Mindball is a game in which two players compete to push a ball over the other's goal line. But there's a catch--this is a game of mind over matter and the way to win is to relax. You can watch a video (WMV format 1.8MB) of a Mindball game in action here

Each player is wired up to an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine which records the electrical activity in the brain. Certain frequencies of signal are associated with different mental activities--for example, gamma waves with a frequency above 26 Hz are associated with higher mental activities such as problem solving.

To win at Mindball, however, you need to produce theta waves (4-8 Hz) which are associated with drowsiness and alpha waves (8-12 Hz) which are associated with being relaxed. So the more relaxed you are, the better you're going to be at this game. (NewScientist -06)
