made.

training system: accurate as many clinical models, yet extremely easy

Future modules will include a Personal Database and Level's 3 (Emotional
Integration), 4 (Abstract Reasoning), 5 (Mental Design), 6 (Meta-Mental)

Mental
Games Level One
Select one of the four included compelling multimedia biofeedback
training exercises, then your sensitivity (difficulty) After
completing, graph your results. A large range of background scenes
and animated feedback sprites are available. You can train "up",
"down", or both directions in a single session. Mental Games makes
use of the full 12-bit output from ThoughtStream for unparalleled
accuracy!
Mental
Games Level Two
Brief descriptions and screenshots from Mental Games Level II. The
program has much more depth and complexity than we can convey here,
with multiple difficulty levels and a range of additional parameters
you can select. We think the interface, with its post-Bauhaus frame
of cool, geometrical symbols to be one of the most original we've
seen. What we haven't shown are the "net games", which require the
Internet to access, or the fact that you can add custom games to the
interface.
Digits. Click
on each number in sequence. This one really sharpens your
attention and ability to separate meaningful information from
"clutter". Three levels of difficulty.
Music Plot.
Three different ways to control music with your thoughts and
feelings, while watching the results being graphed! Learn to
connect to your inner states with aural perception and expand
your understanding of mind/body interaction.
Insects.
A full-blown video game with a twist: all those little ants
running around at different speeds must be converted to
ladybugs! Insects is designed to enhance your spacial
processing skills. Three levels of difficulty.
Focus. This
amazing set of exercises helps calibrate and expand your
peripheral vision and ability to perceive fast, transient
events. We find it totally engrossing, and the more difficult
levels are fiendishly engrossing!
Raindrops.
Catch as many falling drops as you can--and it can rain pretty
hard! Integrates eye/hand coordination with perception of
vertical motion. Three skill levels.
Mandalas. You're
making those concentric rings rotate--in opposite directions.
Three mandalas and eight fantastic ambient sountracks,
selected via those little colored balls on the sides. Perfect
means to achieve tranquil, meditative states of consciousness.
