What is Cognitive training? 

Cognitive training consists of a variety of exercises designed to help improve functioning in areas such as sustaining attention,  memory, thinking before acting, visual and auditory processing, listening and reading. The principle behind cognitive training is to help improve the "core" abilities and self control necessary before an individual can function successfully academically. The exercises "drill for skill" directly in the areas the areas where specific cognitive difficulties occur.

Since this approach requires repetition and one to one instruction the computer is the easiest and most cost effective way to implement this type of program. The computer also provides the option of game like structure to motivate clients complete the training.

Info and Questions on our system and EEG Feedback in general

What is Edufeedback?
Edufeedback is a patented computer-based feedback training system. Its interactive format incorporates the latest brain research for rapid gains in attention. Our Edufeedback's primary purpose is to help children and adults learn how to control their ability to concentrate. Edufeedback also increases skills necessary for success in the learning process. It uses the same technology NASA astronauts and US Air Force pilots use to stay attentive in the cockpit. Clinicians have also used less advanced techniques for 25 years. Our uniquely successful educational adaptation of this cutting edge technology is available for your use now.

Edufeedback is founded in Cognitive Educational Psychology. Edufeedback is the most comprehensive learning tool because it strengthens the core components of the learning process, teaches academic skills, and applies behavioral modification strategies. This patented skill building process is termed Edufeedback. Our system is the only learning system to combine real-time feedback with educational protocols that provide specific skill work necessary to be highly successful during the learning process.

What is a light and sound machine intended to do?
Inside the special glasses are a series of light emitting diodes (LEDs). These blink at very specific frequencies and can be easily sensed through closed eyelids. During the course of a session, these sequences of rhythmic light and sound patterns will change causing the mind to gradually become quiet and allowing you to feel deeply relaxed. Through flickering lights and controlled rhythmic tones, we can entrain the brainwave frequencies into desired states of consciousness. With the relief of tension or resistance in the mind/body, the user becomes receptive to information and the ability to process and recall it. Once the balancing and stress reducing effects of the equipment become engrained, a user can then proceed to special applications to facilitate increased attention and concentration. Then learning rates and mental abilities frequently increase.

When you need to access different states of functioning, you can select a pre-set session that combines scientifically designed sequences of pulses light and sound frequencies. For instance, if you want to slow down and relax deeply or sleep, you would choose a program from the list provided with the L/S device, sit or lie back with the LED glasses and headphones on, and let the flickering lights and sounds capture your brainwaves and gently lead them into letting go.

If you felt fuzzy and unable to focus, you might choose an energizing program that uses faster, Beta frequencies that can sharpen your thinking and stimulate your energy.

What can you expect The Listening Program ^TM to do?

Improvement in auditory processing is just the beginning ...    Incredible care has been taken to use expertise from the best minds in the field to create an auditory therapy program that is easy to administer, is immensely enjoyable, and also extremely successful in strengthening auditory and related abilities.  Here is a program that can benefit anyone, but especially individuals who have difficulties in the areas of auditory perception, processing, and memory.

  The Listening Program^TM is a sound stimulation auditory therapy program consisting of eight specially developed Compact Discs (CDs) conveniently bound together with the 9-part Instructional Guidebook and Listening Journal.  Each CD contains four progressive segments that are 15 minutes each. Re-arranged, specially engineered classical music and nature sounds comprise the listening content.  The arrangements are treated with "filtering" and "gating" at gradually increasing levels through the course of the eight CD series.  These techniques are the basis for the therapy process.  The basic listening schedule calls for two 15-minute segments of headphone listening per day, 5 days a week, for a period of 8 weeks.  It can be completed at home, at school, or in the office.

The Listening Program^TM has helped individuals make improvements in many areas, including the following:

• Attention span and focus
• Speech and motor control
• Auditory perception and sensitivity
• Musical expression
• Self-esteem, mood, and motivation
• Social interaction
• Understanding spoken language
• Reading, spelling, and handwriting
• Physical balance and coordination - sensory integration

The Listening Program^TM was designed to help balance, strengthen, and/or restore our ability to listen to and process sounds across the full auditory spectrum, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. This can result in striking improvements across the human continuum, from academic performance to emotional balance.

Using The Listening Program ^TM literally exercises and tones tiny muscles in the ear and helps build stronger multi-sensory pathways in the brain. The brain receives especially rich auditory stimulation, and its ability to process sound improves.

The Listening Program^TM may help with:

• Attention problems / ADD
• Learning disabilities and dyslexia
• Difficulties processing and retaining auditory information
• Difficulty following directions
• Articulation problems
• Language problems
• Reading comprehension problems
• Monotone voice or sing/song voice
• Central auditory processing difficulties
• Easily distracted by sound
• Overly sensitive to sound
• Low energy level and lack of confidence
• Vestibular problems, including balance and coordination
• Difficulty with communications and social interactions
• History of ear infections or middle ear fluid
• Hearing loss related difficulties
• Sleep problems

Brain Builder

APPLICATIONS

For children and adults at home, school and the office.

Brain Builder can:

• Increase short-term memory capacity
• Improve auditory and visual sequential processing 
• Raise cognitive processing speed 
• Develop visualization and conceptualization skills 
• Improve attention and concentration 
• Enhance listening, reading and self-expression 
• Increase mental efficiency and organization
• Increase confidence through reduced confusion   
• Enhance communication and social interactions
• Support growth in emotional intelligence

The principle behind Brain Builder is exercise. The more you exercise your brain's fundamental processing capacities, the stronger, more efficient and more organized they become. As the pathways of your neural network proliferate and deepen, so too will your ability to absorb and process information quickly and easily. 

BrainBuilder is a "neurobic", computer-based training program that is designed to assess and build auditory and visual sequential processing abilities. With as little as ten minutes of daily mental exercise powerful gains can be made in short-term memory and thinking skills. In an intensive series of adaptive, interactive exercises, BrainBuilder trains the brain to expand its ability to sequentially process auditory and visual information. Sequential processing is fundamental to all learning activities, communication, social interaction and higher order cognitive functions.
