Mind­Labs rais­es £1.4M for its new plat­form, a ‘Pelo­ton for men­tal health’ (TechCrunch):

Ide­al­ly, men­tal well­ness should be con­sid­ered part of a healthy dai­ly rou­tine, like exer­cise. But even exer­cise is dif­fi­cult to turn into a reg­u­lar habit. Pelo­ton addressed phys­i­cal fit­ness by com­bin­ing smart sta­tion­ary bikes with live class­es and com­mu­ni­ty fea­tures to cre­ate an engag­ing expe­ri­ence. Now a new start­up, Mind­Labs, is tak­ing a sim­i­lar approach to men­tal well­ness [Read more…] about What will the ‘Pelo­ton for men­tal health’ look like five years from now?

Atentiv_System_PrototypeNov­el Brain Train­ing Game May Reduce Kids’ ADHD Symp­toms (Med­space):

“A nov­el cog­ni­tive train­ing com­put­er game that uses a child’s own brain waves to improve con­cen­tra­tion may reduce symp­toms of atten­tion-deficit/hy­per­ac­tiv­i­ty dis­or­der (ADHD), say US researchers.

Inves­ti­ga­tors used a nov­el feed-for­ward mod­el­ing (FFM) sys­tem, which…is based on a com­put­er cog­ni­tive train­ing game in which atten­tion is required to move an avatar through the game. The game was cal­i­brat­ed using an elec­troen­cephalo­gram (EEG) head­band with three frontal sen­sors to cre­ate a mod­el of atten­tion and inat­ten­tion states.
