Local educational authorities have halted the use of electronic headbands at a primary school in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, that were said to detect students' brainwaves to help them focus, according to Beijing News. The headbands had aroused controversy and heated discussions among netizens, parents and education professionals. The manufacturer, Massachusetts-based BrainCo Inc, a provider of cognitive training technology products, released a statement on Thursday in response to growing concerns, stating that their headbands are aimed at helping build students' abilities to concentrate instead of monitoring their thoughts and endeavors.
