ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for and a method of providing brainwave biofeedback to a user while the user is simultaneously doing other tasks, for example, while the user is responding to a computer learning lab, working with another computer program, or playing a game. For example, a user could wear a headphone sensor unit, a virtual reality headset sensor unit, or a similar enclosure incorporating sensors made of comfortable compound sponges soaked in an electrolyte solution. The unit can detect brainwave signals which are then processed and interfaced with a computer. Audio and/or video feedback is provided to the user which indicates the user's focus or alertness. While the sensor unit could have therapeutic uses, the current embodiments relate to educational and recreational uses and for uses related to increasing personal performance.
