Mind Games




I'm afraid I suffered a humilating defeat in the battle of the minds with Reuters football editor Mike Collett, who I met up with at an event sponsored by World Cup sponsor Castrol in Johannesburg. Castrol have put together a game which apparently measures brain activity and can be used by footballers to measure stress. Hooked up with a pad around out heads, a ball was apparently moved to reflect how tense or stressed we were. Total hocus-pocus I'm sure, because Collett proceeded to thrash me twice. He was the epitome of calm while the screens made it look as though I was suffering from a nervous breakdown.
