I think this is a very interesting piece of equipment, not least from my professional point of view since I work with medical devices.

There are two details I miss in the description provided by OCZ:
1. More about the electrodes attached to the forehead; material, cover, etc.
2. Safety precautions by design to protect the user from electrical chock.
It should, by my opinion, adhere to BF rating according to the IEC 60601-1 standard, section 8.7.3. (Electrically insulated from ground, no more than 100µA current in normal condition and no more than 500µA current at single fault condition.)

Cheers
