Technology Promises to Treat Attention and Behavioral Problems
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. An innovative product called the Play Attention Learning System using similar space-age technology can now be used on home/school computers to help minimize attention, concentration and focus challenges in children and adults.
Through a combination of technology, unique one-on-one support and a dynamic training program, Play Attention's learning system trains your brain to pay attention and focus better.
NASA experiments proved that attention can be improved through feedback training. Play Attention is an enhancement to the NASA technology that successfully impacts the lives of children and adults worldwide.
Peter Freer, Founder of Play Attention says the powerful results have been seen throughout the United States, Europe, China, Canada, Singapore, Puerto Rico, South America, Taiwan, and Australia.
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 monitors your attentive state and cognitive process while you interact with the characters on the computer screen. You complete a series of video game-like exercises that are controlled, not by joysticks or controllers, but by your brain alone.
Through a process called Edufeedback, you can see and hear real-time feedback of how you'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. In addition, it 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 and software, you receive personalized one-on-one support, motivation and guidance with Play Attention staff members, typically holding a master's degree or higher. There is also a mentor program for children and adults to insure goals are set and being reached. And there is free access to www.playattention.net, a support site loaded with newsletters, information about the rewards program, latest software downloads, coaching resources and interactive advice from the Play Attention staff.
The CEO of Unique Logic + Technology is also the inventor of the Play Attention Learning System. Peter Freer is a veteran educator with over 15 years in the public school system, who holds an MAEd with special training in computer programming and education from the National Science Foundation.
