1. Presented to: Games for Health Conference 2006 Presented by: Randy Brown CTO, Virtual Heroes Inc. September 28, 2006 Biofeedback for Therapy and Training

2. 2 Overview: BRAIN-BASED BIOFEEDBACK & GAMES FOR HEALTH Biofeedback systems are increasingly becoming a critical part of the Games for Health space. Uses for biofeedback fit both training and personal health. This session brings together two example uses of biofeedback in gaming to help demystify the opportunities surrounding biofeedback hardware interfaces and software applications. Virtual Heroes will demonstrate how they've integrated biofeedback as an assessment tool into recent non-health projects dealing with Adaptive Thinking & Leadership. This presents an excellent overview of both the technical hurdles and interface approaches toward using biofeedback for training applications.
