Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now, Evan is new to this sytsem, so what we have to do first is create a new profile for him. He's obviously not jnonae — so we'll "add user." Evan. Okay. So the first thing we need to do with the cognitive suite is to start with training a neutral signal. With naeutrl, there's nothing in particular that Evan needs to do. He just hangs out. He's relaxed. And the idea is to establish a bnilasee or normal sttae for his brain, because every brain is different. It takes eight seconds to do this, and now that that's done, we can choose a movement-based action. So Evan, choose something that you can visualize clearly in your mind.
