Play Attention has been doing this since 1995. Unlike Muse, they have 3 randomized, controlled studies done by the prestigious Tufts University School of Medicine. As principal of an elementary school, I used Play Attention for years quite successfully. The changes were dramatic and long term as we followed the students.
What the author doesn’t mention, and this is quite important, is that staring at a screen using “Neuro” software won’t make a difference. Play Attention has games that build specific skills like time on task, filtering out distractions, social skills, spatial memory, working memory, and even motor skills.
The author should dig deeper before making claims that an untested product, newly introduced into the market, will make a difference even though it doesn’t address specific skills needed for these kids.

Question, does this cover all 6 types of Attention Deficit, Or is this just for those with the hyperactive behavior output? I wonder, because Attention Deficit is really complex. Some remain over-focused, others have no focus. Some can’t sit down, while others cycle through ups and downs. Some have stunted learning, while others can’t find where they stored what they learned. So I question how well this works. Real attention deficit children; who have over focused attention deficit, will most likely get “stuck” on the game, if they actually take interest. All of these children are very smart and become distracted due to an inability to remain focused, or a complete disinterest in what is used to teach the child. For my children, if the subject is boring to them, its because they aren’t challenged. Just wondering how this diversely covers the whole of attention deficit.
