New Technology Showing Promise in Treating Attention and Behavioral Problems in Children & Adults.
NASA-proven technology gives parents, teachers and even even HR staffs a new tool to help students/workers be more focused and on task.
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) September 14, 2004 -- It's a patented technology that
is similar to that used by NASA astronauts and U.S. Air Force pilots to stay
attentive in the cockpit. A new product called the Play Attention Learning
System is using similar space-age technology that can now be used on home/school
computers to help minimize attention, concentration and focus challenges in
children and adults. Through the use of new computer technology, unique
one-on-one support and a dynamic training program, Play Attention's innovative
learning system actually trains the brain to pay attention and focus
better.
"NASA has proven that attention can be improved through feedback
training. Play Attention is actually an enhancement to their technology which is
successfully impacting the lives of children and adults worldwide," says Peter
Freer, Play Attention Founder and CEO. The results have been powerful throughout
the United States, Europe, China, Canada, Singapore, Puerto Rico, South America,
Taiwan, and Australia.
What is Play Attention?
The Play Attention
Learning System consists of a unique computer software program, a sensor-lined
helmet similar to one used for bicycling and an interface unit that connects the
helmet sensors to the computer. These sensors monitor the user's attentive state
and cognitive process while he/she interacts with the characters on the computer
screen. Users complete a series of video game-like exercises that are
controlled, not by joysticks or controllers, but by the brain alone. Through a
process called Edufeedback, Play Attention users can see and hear real-time
feedback of how they're progressing in focusing, finishing tasks, increasing
memory, and filtering out distractions.
Within a short time of using Play
Attention, behavior can be modified to reduce or eliminate disruptive calling
out, fidgeting, and impulsivity, all while improving time-on-task, focus,
comprehension and more. The system helps reduce the effects of distraction at
home, school and the workplace, bringing life into focus. Play Attention
encourages practice of key cognitive and attention skills that, in a relatively
short amount of time, retrains the brain how to think more clearly, more
attentively and with more focus.
The Play Attention Learning System is
much more than computers and technology. In addition to the hardware &
software a user receives personalized one-on-one support, motivation and
guidance with Play Attention staff members, typically holding a master's degree
or higher. A mentor program for children and adults to insure goals are set and
being reached. And free access to www.playattention.net, a
support site loaded with newsletters, information about the rewards program,
latest software downloads, coaching resources, interactive advice from the Play
Attention staff.
The entire Play Attention Learning System sells for
$1,795, which includes all equipment, materials and training. Complete
