SharperBrain Software

Have any of you used this or know anything about it?

The theory behind it seems to make sense.

Looking at the web-site I would not buy this without some sort of demo. Some observations, not necessarily negative:

Yeah, its a lot of dough. But so is my monthly prescription for meds.

I am new to this forum and I just noticed your messages about SharperBrain. I have been using it on and off  for 4 months. It’s an awesome program. I have tried many programs to deal with my ADHD symptoms before. Except for Sharper Brain only one worked well. It’s called Neurofeedback. I had about 40 sessions at a clinic, and my concentration did improve but not completely. Then I went with my parents to a talk about ADHD and they demonstrated the SharperBrain program. I find it more effective than Neurofeedback because it doesn’t only teach the brain to produce concentration waves as Neurofeedback does (I may not be using the accurate terms...sorry ) but it also trains you to be able to do all kinds of specific mental exercises, like dividing your attention between tasks, or keeping your attention even though the program tries to distract you. It does it with  visual graphics as well as with sounds. I have found this to be very effective. By the way, my parents spent about $3000 for the Neurofeedback sessions so in my opinion $400 or whatever it costs is a real steal. Plus, I don’t have to go to a clinic to do it. I am going next year to university and I was really scared I wouldn’t be able to do well. But this was before the summer.

I haven’t tried brainwave generator, but from looking at their site it doesn’t seem to do the cognitive training the way SharperBrain does. I did try another sound based program before doing Neurofeedback but it didn’t seem to do anything I cant remember what it’s called. The sounds were actually making me nervous.

Shinseto_hito re your #3, I looked at the list of doctors on their site. One of them Dr. Ko is the one recommending the program to my mom. Not only is he legit, but he is very well known in this area.

By the way, there internet site may not be the greatest design, I agree. but they have a nice clinic here in Toronto. I was there for an assessment. I hope this helps.

You can say what you want, and I am telling you that this program is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I don't know how you can criticize what you don't know. In fact, I was at the clinic to pick up the advanced levels module and there were two journalists interviewing people there for a TV show. The clinic is well known around here.

I unfortunately posted my reply in the wrong forum. I was originally referring to the SharperBrain program.

Sorry!

I am not sure why this keeps happening. I am trying to post this message in another forum, but it keeps coming back to this one.
