Abstract

A system and method for attention training includes a trainer unit used by a trainer and one or more trainee units, each vibrationally linked to a trainee. The trainer unit is used to send alert and reward signals, such as coded radio signals, to the trainee units, which consequently transmits alert and reward vibrations, respectively, to be felt by the trainee. In some implementations, the trainer observes the trainee behaving in an undesired manner, sends an alert signal via the trainer unit to the trainee unit to transmit an alert vibration to the trainee. If the trainee ceases behaving in the undesired manner, a reward signal is sent via the trainer unit to the trainee unit to generate a reward vibration to be felt by the trainee. Reward signals can be counted to track progress by the trainee.
