We use neurofeedback at home for us and for our daughter, me and her are both ADHD gifted. We really find it useful because you basically have a program able to demonstrate you what helps you to calm down, what works for you when you need to concentrate. And it also trains you to do it under pressure (like time pressure, people around watching what you do and how well you perform while playing etc.), which I find very useful for study, work and life in general. We always live our life under stress and coping with it takes more efforts from some people than from others.
I've always had a problem of paying attention to "boring staff" you know, and my daughter has got the same trouble. I managed to make myself do the staff anyway, but she is very stubborn in this case, so I had a problem with helping her to manage it. And then I realized that, for no reason, I couldn't do it myself as well, so we spent some time on researching the theories of self-control. And then we tried neurofeedback, and applied the theories of controlling yourself to the technology. It's interesting to see that various strategies help some people and don't help others. For example, I could concentrate by using "blank starring" at some visual point, and my daughter couldn't do it, but thinking about a list of Christmas presents to give to friends and relatives helped us to be max focused within seconds!) Going to a "happy place" helped her to relax very fast, which was not my case at all, I realised how I need to breathe in order to calm down. It's great t see how the theory works on the screen in a real time, becasue once you try different things, you see what works for you, and w started using it in everyday life as well. Funny enough, the day comes when you don't use the technique to reach a state, you just make your brain control it, because you're used to doing it in the games. So we find it great and useful.
My daughter plays different apps and also trains with Focus Pocus, a set made for kids. I used to play only apps for adults bought at MyndPlay and Neurosky platforms but now I think I'll try her game as well, as it also has some games for memory training, and I think I should work on mine a bit. I've read a review on Focus Pocus before, and the game tools also allow adjusting to the level of the player, so I wll try it soon for sure
