Is an effective, success-based system designed to improve attention. It combines tested teaching methods and proven technology to help students improve attention skills, increase time-on-task and reduce behavior problems.
Play Attention measures brain activity and presents feedback in a video game format. It improves student concentration with attention training techniques similar to those developed by NASA and the Air Force. Research shows this type of feedback significantly increases attention and response control.
Play Attention utilizes wireless technology that reads brain activity and allows the student to control computer video characters by mind alone. Focusing one’s attention moves the screen characters. This is often the first time a student sees attention in real time. Attention becomes concrete and controllable; the mind becomes the mouse.
Since students can control the computer exercises by attention, behaviors like fidgeting, calling out, or distractibility immediately cause the games to stop. Students witness a direct relationship between attention and behavior. It talks an average of about forty hours of training before results become permanent. Play Attention is appropriate for ages five through adult.
