Neural Feedback in Virtual Reality

About

Imagine you are watching the ever-changing images produced by some classic music visualization software, say Winamp or iTunes visualizer, only these images are responding to changes in your brain waves in real time, rather than to music. Now imagine that this visualization is in 3D and you are perceiving it through a Virtual Reality headset - you are completely surrounded by it, immersed in it, present to it. As you focus your attention, the visualization changes around you, providing instant feedback and thus allowing you to practice staying attentive. As you meditate, placing your awareness on the changing images and relaxing, the visualization changes again and you instinctively learn to stay with that mind state, resting and open. MyndGazer is designed to facilitate attention to moment-to-moment sensory experiences and foster extended interaction, engagement and exploration of neural activity. The fully immersive EEG feedback can be used to increase mental relaxation or attention.
