IMPORTANT :

This app was created on the fly and thus is not completly bugfree. So if an error occures after clicking on the "calculate" button don't worry!

Just retry. ( It should take a maximum of ten tries to work :-)

I wrote this app to train my ability to concentrate. The features are :

- Audiotraining. ( Better for the eyes than staring at a candle for 20 minutes or so )

- Having to recognize cues during the training makes it easier to concentrate. ( It's more like a game then. )

- It can be used while listening to brainwaves making them more effective for someone who's ability to concentrate is not developed so far.


DESCRIPTION :

The app playes 3 diffrent tones in a specific sequence. The tones have the same frequence but there are one to three pauses in each of them which is the diffrence between them.

The tone are played in following order :

Tone 1 - Tone 2 - Tone 3 -
Tone 3 - Tone 1 - tone 2 -
Tone 2 - Tone 3 - Tone 1 -
and then starting again with the first row.

The app calculates random times at which there's played a tone that should not be played.
For example : If it should play tone 2, it plays either tone 1 or tone 3.

When you hear that a wrong tone is played, you have to leftclick on the mouse.

If you miss the cue the app will start from the first row again but playing tone 1 fading from the right to the left channel, and back, in order for you to notice that you missed a cue.

If you leftclick in time ( that is before the wrong tone is finished playing ) the app will recognize that as a noticed cue, starting from the first row again but without fading tone 1. So you'll also know if when you noticed a cue.

If you leftclick on your mouse without a cue being played the app will start from the first row again, plaing tone 1 in a "turntable powerloss" - manner, so you'll know there was no cue at all.

The right mouse button is used to pause or resume the training.

USAGE:

In order to memorize the sequence of tones being played, set the duration to 10 minutes, minimum distance to 1 and maximum distance to 30 seconds. It should take 10 to 20 minutes to memorize the sequence prefectly.

You can also start right away with the concentration training, where you'll automatically memorize the sequence, too.

For concentration training I guess it's best to set the minimum distance to 1 and the maximum distance to 15. When you get quite good results you can set a higher values as maximum distance to make cuenoticing more difficult.

USAGE WITH BRAINWAVE:

While running the app also run your brainwave and concentrate on the tones played by the app. Don't listen to the brainwave. You should get better effects 'cause you're more focused on something while listening to the brainwave.

BUG :

The cursor has to be on the application's dialogbox in order for the app to proccess your mouseclicks.
I didn't have time to change this but if you put your mouse on a surface where the trackball won't move that much, it'll work fine.


This app is helping me a lot in training my ability to focus on something and has remarkable effects when used while listening to a brainwave. I hope it'll be usefull for you, people!
