System and method for exercising a user's concentration and motor skills

摘要

A system and method is shown for exercising a user's motor skills and concentration, comprising, in combination, a controller for providing a plurality of visual images and sounds, a first sensor for providing an input to the controller when activated by a hand on a selected right or left side of the user, a second sensor for providing an input to the controller when activated by a foot on the selected side of the user, a third sensor for providing an input to the controller when activated by a hand located opposite the selected side, and a fourth sensor for providing an input to the controller when activated by a foot located opposite the selected side. The system displays a plurality of visual images where each visual image contains four separate quadrants corresponding to the first, second, third, and fourth sensors. Additionally, the system includes features for changing the color of portions of a selected quadrant, thereby prompting the user to activate one of the sensors corresponding to the selected quadrant, with the selected quadrant sequencing from visual image to visual image. The system also includes features for adjusting the speed of progression of the sequence, providing sounds to identify which visual image is selected, and providing sounds for distracting the user's concentration.
