Abstract: A pick-up rake that has a first elongate handle having an upper end and a lower end; a first rake head mounted onto the lower end of the elongate handle; a second rake head oppositely disposed to the first rake head, the second rake head mounted onto the elongate handle via a bracket assembly enabling movement of the second rake head relative to the first rake head between a closed position and open position. The bracket assembly includes a first pivot point located on one side of the elongate handle and a second pivot point located on the opposite side of the elongate handle.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and system for encouraging physiologic change through physiological display control of video devices. The system includes interfacing an output from a physiologic acquisition device with a junction box that is capable of controlling the output of the physiologic acquisition device which can be an EEG, and whose output can be analog or digital, visually modulated output of the EEG signal or can be an audio feedback output of the EEG training signal. In one embodiment of the present invention, the PC is no longer required to process the audio/visual changes affected on the video device. The junction box can include means for changing the video feed characteristics such as brightness or darkness of the video image and also volume control of the video feed in response to changes in the signals of brain activity.
