During game play, StarStarter retrains your attention with a unique training approach – using faces
Happy Faces =
Positive Focus
Focusing on happy faces in the game, we learn to disengage from negative information and focus on the positive in a situation
An Exercise for Your Brain
StarStarter helps you calm down in the moment, and can lead to improved resilience
The Science Behind StarStarter
Gameplay is designed using evidence-backed neuroscience, specifically Attention Bias Modification (ABM), a proven cognitive training technique that retrains your brain to notice positivity more than negativity. StarStarter focuses on training healthier mental patterns while you have fun.
