"Play attention" is an interactive (between
computer and person) devise that includes a helmet that conveys direction
of sight to the computer. The person plays videogames, not with a
mouse or joy stick, but rather, by maintaining attention and eye contact.
Games focus on concentration, time on task, and memory for multi-step directions.
Based on NASA technology. Cost: $1800 (2005). For more
