SmartBrain Technologies, with its exclusive NASA license, has developed the World’s most sophisticated brain training device available. We all recognize the benefits of physical exercise to increase strength, stamina and overall health. Scientific evidence clearly supports the brain can also benefit from exercise. Although we recognize the benefits of exercise, many times we find excuses since it usually is hard work. SmartBrain Technologies changes everything! Exercising your brain's capabilities now can be as easy and fun as playing your favorite video game and as engaging as watching your favorite movie.
SmartBrain Technologies uses a novel, non-invasive approach to improving the brain’s performance and the capacity to learn in children and adults. Through direct measurement of specific brainwave patterns, this amazing technology engages the brain’s neuroplasticity—its natural ability to change.
Some of the many benefits include:
• Improve your ability to pay and sustain attention longer
• Speed up your brain’s function- increase processing speed
• Decrease your impulsive responses
• Improve your memory and recall
• Improve your overall cognitive processing
• Increase your brain’s capacity to learn
SmartBrain Technologies was developed at NASA measuring the attention and responses of pilots to flight operations. NASA found that the more computerized flight operations became, the less attentive the pilots were to monitoring operations and were slower to respond to emergencies. We face the same problems with technology overload in our day to day living. Our brains are constantly artificially stimulated. From hours of TV to computer use to medications, and the food additives we ingest, our brains are no longer required to work hard and build our “brain muscles”. Our brains become slow and lazy.
SmartBrain Technologies is designed to “pump the neurons” and exercise our brains to a healthy level of vitality building the connections that lead to increased concentration, focus and the ability to learn. Now we can exercise our brains to healthy function and have fun at the same time. Now children and adults can play their favorite PlayStation or XBox game and watch a favorite movie while in turn exercising their brains at the same time!
SmartBrain Technologies makes exercising your brain as fun as playing a video game and as easy as watching television. We build patented NASA Technology to address attentional challenges like, learning and memory, as well as behavioral and emotional problems which affect millions of children and adults in the U.S. alone. Families are frustrated, discouraged, concerned and reaching out for alternatives to traditional interventions but until SmartBrain Technologies, they have been too costly and difficult to access.

SmartBrain Technologies is a growing, innovative, caring company dedicated to providing quality technology products to help children and adults make the most of their potential and capacity for learning. Through our partnership with NASA, we develop state of the art EEG Neurofeedback, "Interactive Feedback" devices in the areas of health, learning and performance enhancement to create the most advanced and powerful ‘brain exercise' training system available.
SmartBrain Technologies has created a very sophisticated, effective and yet easy to use, ‘brain exercise’ system that strengthens your brain’s capacity to learn. A very comfortable, light weight and fully adjustable visor system houses small sensors capable of measuring the brain's electrical pattern called brainwaves. These sensors insert directly into the battery powered EEG Neurofeedback device called the Smart Box, which processes your brainwaves and exercises your brain to a desired level of improvement. In our Video Game System, your brainwaves are wirelessly sent to the game controller affecting the function of the action and directional buttons, governing your ability to control the game. In our ‘DVD Media Player System’ your brainwaves are sent to a wireless receiver inserted into the USB port of a PC affecting the visual and auditory presentation of the movie.
These systems encourage brainwave patterns that are consistent with the most efficient cognitive processing and provides rewards of successful game play and movie watching. Through the repetition of use, these immersive technologies transfer success to everyday activities like; better attention and focus in the classroom and at work, greater ability to remember and recall information, improves the brain’s capacity to learn, decreases in impulsive responses and so much more. In post testing, findings show that brainwaves patterns can actually changes, look different. SmartBrain Technologies has tremendous inspirations in so many areas of life!
SmartBrain Technologies develops systems for:
►Parents who want to improve their child's attenttion and learning capacity
►Adults who want to improve cognitive functioning and memory
►Professionals for both in office and supervised home services
►Educators working with learning disabilities in school
The brilliance of the video game platform for neurofeedback training is the unlimited supply of training screens. Rather than programming a simple game or feedback display for training purposes, the SmartBox uses off-the-shelf commercial video games. As a result hundreds and hundreds of training screens are currently available with new ones appearing weekly.
While it is impossible to keep up with all of the new games on the market for compatibility with our video game neurofeedback system there are some general guideline.
The rule of thumb for games is twofold:
1)The digital buttons (the four buttons on the right hand side of the game controller and the flat directional pad on the left hand side are required for normal and consistent game play action and control. The analog joysticks cannot be used for normal game play i.e., controlling the direction of the game’s character or steering of a car or other normal action functions like jumping…
2)The feedback of the digital buttons needs to be consistent and obvious to the game player as the effects of EEG change the function of the action. For instance, in a race car game the X button is used for acceleration. The effects of EEG causes a noticeable change in the speed of the car. Loss of steering is encountered when the vibration continues for 4 seconds non-stop.
In a platform or ‘jumping’ game, the digital action buttons control the ability of a game character to jump or do a trick. When the jump button is pressed the ability to jump is controlled by meeting criteria in the EEG training (the character won’t be able to jump as high or as far and the ability to control the direction movement of the character will be impaired.
Both of these types of games work since there is a noticeable change or degrading of control based on changes in the EEG (feedback). They also work because the action is frequent through game play
The type of games that do not work are games that require the use of the analog joysticks for normal game play functions and games that do not provide noticeable changes in feedback.
For instance, a first person shooting game where the character is firing a weapon as the major action in the game. Even though the X button may fire the weapon there is not sufficient feedback in how fast or how far the bullet travels to be useful feedback.
Below is a list of games that we have found to be compatible for training. This is by no means an exhaustive list.
