At the start of the show, all eight brainees begin with a white belt. At the start of each following level, the brainees who are yet to be eliminated are given a higher level brain belt (worn around their forehead). • Level 1 –
Yellow Belt – This level uses the
occipital lobes of the Brain. The task here is always
Enter the Dojo. • Level 2 –
Orange Belt – This level uses the
frontal lobes; requiring the brainees to do something they would normally do without thinking differently. • Level 3 –
Green Belt – This level requires the brainees to get into teams of two, each of the pair using a different half of their brain. • Level 4 –
Blue Belt – This level uses the
amygdala as brainees are challenged to overcome fear. • Level 5 –
Red Belt – This level exercises the thinking part of the brain, the
cerebrum, and the doing part, the
Cerebellum. • Level 6 –
Brown Belt – This level requires the brainees to use their occipital lobes,
temporal lobes and cerebellum. • Level 7 –
Black Belt – The two remaining contestants push a ball across a table using their focus. The force with which the ball is pushed is measured by the average amount of brain waves used during the challenge. ==Transmissions==
