Play Attention: Train Your Brain Through Interactive Technology

Revolutionary brain-computer interface technology that makes cognitive training engaging and effective.

Play Attention is an innovative computer-based attention training system that uses brainwave monitoring to provide real-time feedback in an engaging, game-like environment.

By wearing a special helmet that reads your brainwaves, you learn to control computer games and activities using only your attention and focus, making cognitive training both fun and effective.

THE TESS APPROACH TO PLAY ATTENTION

At TESS, we incorporate Play Attention as part of our trauma-informed approach to cognitive enhancement and attention training.

We understand that individuals with trauma histories may struggle with attention regulation, memory, and social processing, and Play Attention provides a unique, non-threatening way to address these challenges.

Our certified Play Attention specialists work with you to create a personalized training program that targets your specific cognitive goals. The system provides immediate feedback about your attention state, helping you learn to recognize and maintain focused attention in real-time. This immediate feedback loop is particularly valuable for individuals who have difficulty with self-awareness and self-regulation.

We recognize that the technology might initially seem overwhelming to some individuals, so we take time to ensure comfort and understanding before beginning training. Our supportive approach helps build confidence while developing crucial cognitive skills. The game-like format makes training enjoyable, which increases engagement and motivation to continue.

Play Attention training at Trauma Education and Support Services is designed to generalize beyond the computer, helping individuals apply improved attention and cognitive skills to real-world situations including school, work, and social interactions.
