I recently purchased a computer game to help me focus. It uses biofeedback. It really seems to be helping me and I think it could be really good for my ADD issues. Three sensors attached to fingers allow me to control various events by how my mind affects the body. The sensors monitor skin response and heart rate kind of like a lie detector. The game is alot different than traditional games. It moves alot slower. Does anyone know of any other games like this ?

Vex,
Glad to hear the game is helping. Where did you buy it? I'd like to check it out.
I've heard of this one elsewhere, I think it is a reputable product: http://www.playattention.com
I just called to get the pricing, it's $1,800. You get a helmet that wires your brain & software & telephone counseling to get you started learning to use it properly. They have a couple payment options to stretch it out up to 10 months. I'm not planning to do it at least not now but was curious of the price. That's a lot less than visiting a specialist.

Definitely let me know if it works. I have been considering purchasing it, but the price scared me. I purchased a sound/light machine instead, and I believe it has helped me somewhat. Obviously no price is too high if it actually helps and enables me to live a somewhat normal life.
i was just hoping to get the name of the game you have and where you got it.Please and thank you

Sounds like your game is "The Journey to Wild Divine". It has sensors that attach to your middle 3 fingers. The game costs $159.00 which includes the Blue Stone (sensor), sw, and a music CD along with documentation. Works on Mac OS/X or Windows PC. Not a bad price as far as a games go.
I am not able to report if it helps with ADD symptoms because I'm not very good at all controling my mind yet.

wow. games sound awesome to help my add.
Are there any other games that help through biofeedback?
are you sure if journey to wild divine helps with inattentiveness? it doesn't say so on it, it seems more for just relaxing
keep my notified!
