Gaming System control for Biofeedback Training

Features:

  • Play/Pause virtually any video game that runs on Nintendo GameCube gaming system as Biofeedback.
  • Compatible with GameCube and most games that use the Start/Pause button to control Play and Pause. Best if start/pause button is not used in regular gameplay. (Games that extensively use the Start/Pause button during gameplay are not good choices for use with this interface.)
  • Interfaces with any biofeedback equipment that includes a general-purpose relay (open-circuit vs. conduction) output OR any equipment that can provide audio output (such as through a sound card), with our Feedback Media Platform (separate device -- purchased separately).
  • Many types of biofeedback equipment provides simple (boring) feedback scenarios provided by the manufacturer. Now, exciting gaming system interaction can be used as feedback. User can play game if successful maintaining desired mental state, or paused. Game continues where it left off with no loss of life, level or frustrating restrarts.
  • Great for teaching children to remain calm under pressure, for example. Useful for desensitizing training, attention training, and many other training modalities -- experiment!
  • Includes control interface cable.
  • Includes Open-Play or Close-play connections to insure compatibility with many usage scenarios.
  • No batteries required, no AC wall adapter required -- No internationalization issues.
  • Test button simplifies diagnostics, and allows changing to other state if the user somehow gets in the wrong (play vs. pause) state.
  • Hand controller is disabled during paused state so subject can't restart it manually.
  • Tested with many hand-controllers, both from Nintendo and off-brands.
  • Note: Do not use extension cords on the controllers (6' maximum).

    • Thought Technology ProComp+ Equipment. (Under "Feedback Option" set "Use Switch Control".)
    • The "Thinking Cap" developed by Hershel Tommim of Biocomp.
  • Also interfaces with ANY biofeedback equipment that can direct a sound board to emit a sound. Requires a FeedbackMediaPlatform that will plug into your sound board output and then into the BioPad. Play a sound, Game plays; silence, Game pauses. Compatible with:
    • Lexicor Equipment
    • WaveRider Equipment
    • BrainMaster
    • CapScan
