Imagine NeuroSolutions features The Attention Trainer System which is a wireless, goopless, newly developed EEG Neurofeedback program that trains down attention problems that plague so many children and adults. It utilizes computer driven fun games that kids will love to play - any age. Easy "I'll do it myself" fool proof high tech sensor system kick starts rebuilding of self esteem. Quick 2-3 minute setup is virtually fool proof. Three reprogrammed commercial games that are powered by brainwaves. They react when your attention stays focused, slow down or stop with distractions, talking or movements. The most fantastic way to retrain your attention and have fun doing it!
Technology for the Attention Trainer was developed and tested in Hampton Virginia, to help pilots sharpen their attention skills of focus, reaction time and ability to remain alert during long waits between active engagements. Olympic athletes are using this technique to improve their concentration. Research on brainwaves will help your child pay attention in school. Alan Pope, Phd. and Olafur Pallson, Psy.D. have invented a way to allow games to be used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder. Pope is the psychologist and electrical engineer who's inspiration culminated in the Attention Trainer System. More...
Dr. Joel Lubar, of the University of Tennessee, has done extensive research and pioneered protocols for neurofeedback and published many hallmark professional papers on the subject. He and his staff of dedicated psychologists have proven that ADD/ADHD in adults and children produce distinctly different brainwaves from those without this disorder. Neurofeedback can change this pattern to create a more normal brainwave pattern. More...
The Attention Trainer was developed in association with leaders in the industry (Dr. Joel Lubar, Dr. Alan Pope, and J & J Engineering.)
Recent developments in MRI Technology also confirm differences and in research facilities can track "before" and "after" training results. More information regarding the flexibility of the brain confirms that with retraining the rewiring effect is accomplished as neurotransmitters help the brain to regulate and coordinate normal brain functions.
The success rate of EEG Neurofeedback is an outstanding accomplishment. Success is rated by significantly reducing impulsivity, distractibility and inattention.
Dr. Siegfried Othmer, Phd has published many papers outlining ADD and ADHD, he is recognized as a leader in the field of comprehensive treatment of this and other related disorders. He has compiled an impressive database of successful applications of neurofeedback in his California clinic. www.EEGSpectrum.com
As best stated by Dr. Frank H. Duffy, a neurologist at Boston Children's Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, "If any medication had demonstrated such a wide spectrum of efficacy [as biofeedback], it would be universally accepted and widely used."
The year 2001 introduces The Attention Trainer, "user friendly" and profoundly sensitive neurofeedback computer equipment enabling neurofeedback to now be done in the privacy of your own home. Symptoms of distractibility, impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention which are interfering with school, home and business relationships can be specifically be addressed. The games provided are fun, stimulating and serve a specific purpose in training your attention. The Attention Trainer teaches the user to control action in the games with their ability to focus. The software monitors brainwaves indicative of focus and cognitive processing (Beta) along with sensory motor response (SMR) and computes an Attention Index which can be plotted showing a steady improvement over the course of use. Theta and Alpha (slow waves found to be dominant in ADD/ADHD) are inhibited by the games. A typical course ideally will be 60 thirty minute or more sessions. The brain uses ques in the game to learn from its mistakes and begins its own "retraining" with feedback from the Attention Trainer. Mix up the games or pick your favorite and go for it!
This system is fantastic and it gets results!!!
After the Attention Trainer's release in August 2001 Imagine NeuroSolutions elected to utilize this newly developed technology. We chose the Attention System for a variety of reasons including the system's ease of use, goopless and wireless lead system and it's gaming appeal. Imagine NeuroSolutions received the Attention Trainer's certification in September 2001 after training and evaluation.
Imagine NeuroSolutions is located just minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at 1908 Peninsula Drive, Flower Mound, Texas 75022. Our president is Linda Ouille, a certified Attention Trainer Representative. She can be called at 972-724-0544 or emailed at louille@imagineneurosolutions.com.
