Neurofeedback addresses problems of brain disregulation
Submitted by Abigail Hamilton
The Somatic Vision games you know about are used by home users interested in using heart rate and skin sweat feedback for stress reduction and peak performance.
Did you know that modified versions of these same games are used clinically to treat brain-related conditions using brainwave biofeedback, called neurofeedback?
Somatic Vision games form the backbone of the Cygnet neurofeedback system by EEG Info, which is used worldwide by psychologists and doctors in one-on-one sessions addressing brain-related disorders.
I would encourage Somatic Vision customers to learn more about neurofeedback, and its potential uses when dealing with more challenging issues than can be easily addressed at home.
If you want to learn more about neurofeeback, I recommend any of the following:

Spend ten minutes a day playing relaxing heart rate feedback games to reduce stress, optimize breathing, and improve performance at work.
Alive is terrific for kids and teens. So far I have used it primarily with 11 to 16 year-olds. With other systems, I could never get an accurate heart rate signal from many younger children because they were so wiggly, and I often had to have very short training sessions because of their short attention span. With Alive, these children sit quietly and don't want to stop, even after 55 minutes. To quote one young boy who caught on immediately: "I have to stay calm even when things get hard."
We got a call from the school principal: Our son is doing better! I'm sure that Dual Drive has been a factor in his improvement. I love watching him calm down and breathe.
