Description of the feedback animation: Dream Scapes is a feedback animation collection of 27 individual feedback programs. The portfolio ranges from landscape animations to platform games to creativity and thinking games and jigsaw puzzles. The operation of most animations is self-explanatory. A controller is recommended in many cases, but it is still possible to run the feedback animations in autopilot mode. The diversity of Dreamscapes offers the therapist various opportunites to find the right animation for his patient. In each category there are tasks of different difficulty levels and for different preferences. It includes entertaining repetitive tasks, or the ability to play from one level to the next.
Technical Specifications: The feedback is carried out through the change of the visual and audio elements. The individual parameters vary, however, from animation to animation. Many of the animations included in Dream Scapes distract the patient from wanting to intentionally control elements, so the neurofeedback is perceived more subconsciously.
