How it works

The included Biofeedback hardware will register changes of your minds' state. This way you will be able to steer the ball through the levels of LaxBall without the mouse or keyboard.

With the biofeedback device “Laxball®” you control a ball only by your skin resistance, which reflects your physical condition, on different courses. The aim of this unit is on the one hand of course the fun factor but on the other hand the Laxball serves to relax, improve concentration and even to support ADHD treatments. The buyer receives the product hardware, including the skin resistance meter and the software for the PC or Mac with 36 levels.

Purchasers of the Laxball receive a small box in which there is the hardware of the game. This is to be connected to the PC or Mac by the supplied USB cable. Now you just need to install the software either as a Mac or a Windows version on your PC/Mac and put your finger in the skin resistance meter. A short tutorial explains the user every step until the start of the game. Then you can start.

The user sees an obstacle course that resembles a miniature golf course and a ball. After the player has pressed start this ball starts to move forward on its own. The highlight: the direction is defined by the user himself – but only through his skin resistance. The user will notice pretty quickly that the ball drifts in one direction. His task now is to counter this by either activate or calm himself. The better the user manages to keep the ball in balance, the faster he will reach the goal and set his own records and collect medals. The levels get increasingly difficult and change at certain intervals and the ambience.

LaxBall uses your brain power to move a ball through 42 mini 3-D levels.

The levels build on each other, each has to be completed to explore the next.

This requires a more and more acute control over your state of excitation resp. relaxation.

You master the levels by becoming a master of your thoughts and emotions.

About GSR Biofeedback

LaxBall is a game with unconventional control. Unlike most other computer games, you control LaxBall only by brain power which is reflected in the galvanic skin response (GSR).

We all know wet hands as a symptom of anxiety or panic. However, the skin is even more sensitive to all emotional reactions, which in turn can be influenced by thought. Already a single thought can be enough for a sustainable emotional response, which is reflected in skin resistance. Thus, the resistance of the skin is also an essential biofeedback parameter for lie detectors.

The LaxBall multimedia software analyzes the subtle changes in your electrical skin resistance, which are transmitted to your PC/Mac by the biofeedback device MindReflection. 

Initially the control of the reactions and the navigation of the ball are mostly unconscious processes: It is typical for biofeedback that you sometimes do not know how exactly you influence a response, but it works nevertheless. By and by you will develop a feeling for the correct responses.

Therefore, LaxBall is ideal for the mental training of various personal skills such as:

• improvement of concentrativeness and relaxation
• developing emotional balance
• improvement of focused attention
• achieving mental clarity
• maintain control in difficult, stressful situations

LaxBall's levels 'sense' your degree of concentration and relaxation and react accordingly.

Combining biofeedback and multimedia provides new opportunities for personal development in a playful way. It opens a new dimension in personal training. Playing with LaxBall will help you to optimize your habits regarding perception, attention, relaxation and the associated reactions. You will soon find that increased awareness and attention lead to a more relaxed everyday life - without stress or even burnout.
