How Does StarStarter Work?
StarStarter’s core therapeutic method is a game-based approach to a decades-old area of clinical and neuroscientific research known as Attention Bias Modification (ABM).
The human brain is uniquely predisposed to subconscious, sub-second processing of faces. StarStarter uses facial expression and gamification to re-train emotional and attentional patterns that can drive persistent feelings of anxiety.
StarStarter’s proprietary game mechanics have been designed and optimized through a decade of neuroscientific research using EEG, neurostimulation, eye tracking, heart rate monitoring and MRI.
