A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to treat depression, mood and anxiety disorders. The training program includes an inference renormalization game that presents three subsets of stimuli and prompts a game participant to selectively respond or withhold responding to one or two of the stimulus subsets.

Neuroplasticity games for depression

A game delivery system delivers a plurality of games in a training program. The training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to overcome cognitive deficits associated with a neurological disorder. In one embodiment, the training program includes an initial batch of games that predominantly exercise elemental, lower-level cognitive processes and sensory deficits. After a game participant progresses through the initial batch of games, the training program provides games that impose comparatively greater higher-order cognitive processing requirements on the participant. A clinician portal provides remote access to a clinician to data about the game participant's compliance and performance with the training program. The clinician portal also enables the administrator to configure the training program.

Neuroplasticity games

A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to treat an addiction, wherein a plurality of addiction-related stimuli stimulate craving for the object of the addiction. The training program comprises at least one computerized reverse conditioning game configured to present a plurality of target and distractor stimuli, wherein the distractor stimuli are addiction-related stimuli, and prompts a game participant to respond to the target stimuli and ignore the distractor stimuli.

Neuroplasticity games for addiction

A training program is configured to systematically drive neurological changes to treat depression, mood and anxiety disorders. In one embodiment, a reward renormalization game presents a plurality of stimuli, a subset of which are positively affective, and the remainder of which are neutral or negatively affective, and prompts a game participant to respond to the positively affective stimuli and ignore the remainder of the stimuli. In another embodiment, an inference renormalization game presents a plurality of stimuli, a subset of which are positively affective, a second subset of which are negatively affective, and a third subset of which are neutral and prompts a game participant to respond to both the positively affective stimuli and the negatively affective stimuli and ignore the neutral stimuli.
