This web site, Live on Purpose, is popular with people looking for desktop wallpapers. I found a very cool source for desktop wallpapers, but don’t stop there. The web site BrainPaint features a new biofeedback method that just blows my mind. These images were painted using neurofeedback from the patient’s brainwaves. They look reminiscent of fractals; some are beautiful and some are disturbing. The practice of neurofeedback is now getting press because children with ADD or ADHD can use it as an alternative to the medical standard prescription of Ritalin.
Neurofeedback helps in concentration, focus, and retraining your brain! I’d say this should be the first line of treatment for ADD, not some “alternative” therapy!
There is a biofeedback video game that I played only for several minutes at a conference. Journey to the Wild Divine uses finger clips to read your pulse and you control the game entirely through your willpower. Their own byline: The Wild Divine Project provides entertaining, multimedia solutions to promote self-care
and personal wellness. Our training tools use your body’s own biometrics together with our creative, computer-based tools and techniques, to help you learn to relax and reduce stress.

Jessica, this post is extremely interesting. it looks like there is a mathematical relationship, as in fractals….

The man who is the “brainchild” (rim-shot, please) of this method tried to manually create one of the fractal-like paintings using
“…EEG information in order to simulate BrainPaintings. To his amazement, he can not recreate the beauty generated from the power of the brain. These other fractals, although athletically pleasing, are reminiscent of plastic flowers trying to imitate nature.”
I found BrainPaint while I was researching for my next post…hint, hint, the Global Consciousness Project has been using BrainPaint to create some stunning images.
