Even after weeks of training, you're not going to be able to change the signal just by thinking about it. You might want to consider exactly what you're training your brain to do.

It did appear to work better for the demonstrator than for random booth visitors, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had a primitive version of such a detector. If so it's probably a single binary input concentrating or not and it's probably very error-prone - at worst approaching randomness. The NYTimes article said it used galvanic skin response.
