The sleek black diamond-shaped contraption — called “Yurex” (yure means “shake” in Japanese) — straps to the thigh. A pair of silver disco ball-shaped sensors measure the leg’s horizontal and vertical vibrations, and a 10-digit LCD counter displays the user’s accumulated leg-shake tally. When Yurex is connected to a computer’s USB port, special software automatically downloads the data from the device and analyzes the user’s leg-shaking habits and rhythm patterns. The software can also generate a personalized “creative beat pattern” based on leg-shake data obtained while the user is in a state of deep concentration. Then, whenever a boost of creative energy is needed, users can simply jiggle their knees in concert with this beat data to achieve higher brain power.

Interesting Reading..
