Research has shown that training working memory and attention in the school setting can generalize to improved academic skills and better behavior in the classroom. Adding neurofeedback to brain training can enhance the power of the training by helping students get “in the zone,” learning to relax and focus while they work. Your students will have a great time playing SmartMind 4’s entertaining, engaging games while developing a positive, relaxed state of mind.
You can easily systematize the training for each individual student. Plus, you can reinforce the classroom training by using SmartMind 4’s new optional cloud-based technology to send your students home with SmartMind 4 homework.

MindPower Games
These entertaining “video games” interact with the neurofeedback. The client must maintain his SmartMind EEG reward “zone” while he engages in playing the game, which he controls with the mouse, keyboard, game controller, or touchscreen. The better he maintains a relaxed focused state, the more points he scores.

Captain’s Log Brain Games
Research supports the effectiveness of combining neurofeedback with cognitive training (Tinius & Tinius, Journal of Neurotherapy, 2000). In these Brain Games, the Captain’s Log Cognitive Training System is adapted for use in tandem with SmartMind 4. The client develops the ability to access a relaxed mental state to optimize learning.

SmartDriver
SmartDriver is an entertaining, non-violent driving game designed to build cognitive skills and self-esteem. The game consists of forty-five progressive levels of difficulty for ages 6 through adult.
