|
The Peak Achievement Trainer is a complete
product, including everything that you need to get started except the PC
and the camera. It differs from other neurofeedback systems, which
take a lot of time to configure and learn to use. The
Trainer is the only
neurovideofeedback™ system available that is
very user-friendly, portable, and understandable. This system
is
specifically
designed so anyone can learn how to use it and
get 'on track' for strengthening their brain in about 3 minutes. It is
designed for individual use by the general public, or for professional use by trainers,
therapists, coaches, sport psychologists, and counselors.
|
The wireless hardware is the
heart of a very complete system.
NEW:
Now includes a Special Report
with instructions on finding and recording your Optimal
Performance State
|
This complete, easy to use training
package includes everything you need--except the PC and Windows--to
do
neurovideofeedback™ . The
centerpiece is a wireless brainwave analyzer that transmits the
information to a receiver that attaches to your personal computer.
In addition to the
single channel
Peak Achievement Trainer®, there is a
two channel
deluxe version, primarily
for research use. In addition, the Trainer includes:
-
Your choice of Sensor
system
-
A battery charger

It is much simpler to use than
neurofeedback or brainwave (EEG) biofeedback
instruments, and far more accurate. So simple, in fact,
that you can slip on the patented
SensorPhonesTM,
SensorBandTM,
or
SensorVisorTM in less than 30 seconds, and
so accurate that you understand that the video and sounds
reflect your Focus and Alertness within the first three minutes that
you try each type of feedback. No other system even comes
close! Most systems take several sessions under the
guidance of a professional to teach the kind of control that you can
achieve in just a few minutes with our patented protocols. You
don't have to go through the time consuming and worrisome hassle of
figuring out how to create and use neurofeedback designs and
displays. You will save so much valuable time that any price
difference pales in comparison.
|
As the pictures show, each of these can hold the lightweight
Transmitter--just two ounces with the battery--or you can wear the
Transmitter as a pendant. You can move around within the range
of wireless transmission, which varies from 12 feet to over 50 feet
with our enhanced antenna system, depending on the configuration. The
SensorPhones
deliver high quality audio through wired Jensen headphones. Sony
headphones with wireless audio are available as a special order.
|
 |
Connections to the head are easy and quick.
Our user-replaceable
Sensors use
salt water to connect and don't require messy electrode paste.
Just wet the Sensors, place the Peak Achievement Trainer on the head and
you are ready to enhance your capacity for learning and performance and
reduce your stress level.

This highly accurate software analyzes your brainwaves and shows you when you are
focusing and when you are not by changing the sounds from the
computer and several displays on the screen. You focus tightly on a
moving line on the computer screen, which responds by moving higher. The pitch of the flute sound shifts higher as you focus on any
sight, sound, image, or part of the body. Almost every user
can understand and control this feedback within about three minutes.
|
|
 |
The FocusedAlert Protocol screen
shows how it changes over time, going from right (present) to left
(past). There are several cycles of Focus (yellow) and
Alertness (orange), punctuated by microbreaks. The grey at the
bottom indicates that there was very little muscle tension during
the recording.
|
More recent
discoveries led to the development of the
FocusedAlert and
Neureka!
Protocols. The FocusedAlert
Protocols add the dimension of Alertness to the Focus measurement. It
takes a lot of mental energy to keep this degree of alertness or arousal
going. The Peak Achievement Trainer® can be used to enhance your
mental energy capacity and also to decrease your utilization so that you
have greater energy reserves. We have recently developed methods to
train for an Optimal Alertness Range.
This
Alertness dimension is also easy to understand and control, usually taking less
than three minutes.
The Peak Achievement Trainer's® new FocusedAlert Program allows you to monitor and train concentration and
alertness as separate dimensions of attention--separately or
simultaneously. With the same, simple Sensor hook-up, you can
observe and reinforce measures that respond to both single-pointed focus
and "on-the-edge" high Alertness, that extra arousal which
occurs right before you hit the ball.
The optimal approach to optimizing performance is to analyze and
improve it on a moment to moment basis. With the
FocusedAlert Program, you can now have the precision necessary to actually
see the user's concentration and alertness
separately at every moment during the performance of a work, study, or
athletic activity, as well as to train the underlying skills. We
have also found that it is possible
to train the user by providing feedback during their
visualization of a performance, thereby eliminating problems
produced by movement artifacts.
In contrast, the Neureka! dimension, which produced some
rather remarkable
improvements in focusing in a small group of college coeds, is not
quite as easily mastered. it is related to the experience of very
actively attending to new and important information--mastering new
discoveries--and the enhanced memory that follows.
These
performance-enhancing designs are all implemented in a superb new
Windows-based data acquisition and feedback program which also supports
video capture and neurovideofeedback™ . You can control a DVD, CD,
or animation with your Focus, Alertness, or both. When you enter
an optimal Zone, the display you choose plays.
Lose your Focus or
Alertness, and it stands still. Within the Zone, the image gets
bigger as you Focus and brighter with more Alertness. The fully
functional object-oriented program allows you to
make billions of different neurofeedback designs and to connect with a
wide variety of other devices.
The
package also includes a data review program which allows you to see the
entire session at a glance, zoom in on a particular portion of the
session, print out results and export data to other programs.

The
Instructional Materials
There is a very detailed Manual
for installing and operating the VR software and the training
protocols. We are currently revising the later part of the
Manual, which referred to the old software, and expect to create a
new Workbook by late May and send it to all purchasers. Two of the
nine lessons in the manual/workbook train you how to take a
microbreak
that rests and recharges the brain, using two audio
tracks that are included in our installation CD. To train you even
more completely, we have recorded a web seminar.
The Benefits
Individuals
can learn calm concentration for clearer thinking and better
decision making. Users can quickly improve their ability to visualize that
perfect performance, whether job, school, or sports related. The Trainer may relieve the discomfort and tension of competition
and better their odds at excelling or winning. You may be able to help yourself to get to, and stay in,
"The Zone",
for peak performance and learn how to enhance your
"Iceberg Profile", which measures moods associated with
winning. It may also help to improve strength and fitness training
by enhancing your focus as you pump iron.
Types of Training
There are twelve different and complementary types of training which are possible using the
Peak Achievement Trainer®:
-
Strengthening
the ability of the Brain's Executive Attention Network to
momentarily focus
attention.
-
Strengthening
the ability of the midbrain to momentarily intensify alertness/arousal.
