This is a useful tool in that it makes the software/hardware combination available at a less expensive price than any other I am aware of. My only criticism is that there is not a lot of information on interpretation of the output, although from reading Heart Math literature one can get a sense of what one is doing. However for the price it is definitely worth it and I could see that some people may want to get the game mostly for the option of having this expansion pack.

This software turned out to be worthless. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the most meaningful statistic, and that is why I bought the software. And the product's advertisement claims that it saves (HRV) measurements. But it does not. It only saves heart rate. You have to calculate HRV yourself by writing a data processing program. But HRV calculations entail sophisticated analysis beyond the scope of almost anyone who would buy this software. And why should anybody have to write code to generate outputs that were promised in the product description?

On top of the HRV bait and switch, the interface itself is primitive and crummy. The number of parameter adjustments you can make is very limited. You cannot even resize the window.

I paid 40 bucks for the download of this junk and used it twice. I would have been really disappointed if I had paid 50 bucks for the CD. There is a free open source program called LSMonitor 0.83 that does more than this "Expansion Pack". So do not waste your money on this software.

After thirty years of anecdotal theorizing about whether video graphics do/do not potentially affect/effect brain wave behaviours, we now have precision tools that can begin formulating specific, measureable parameters.

This particular Wild Devine software program is one of the dozens (now hundreds?) of personalized tools that specifically explore the dynamic effects that Video Graphics can play on the mind. Is the Mind affected? These popularly priced tools, along with scientific procedures such as the newly applied MRI brain scans, offer wider portals for exploration.

It seems clear that vast areas of conjecture concerning basic questions will now receive increased scholarly attention and inquiry due to rapidly expanding Biofeedback technology being widely introduced to other fields in addition to the usual but herethereto narrower boundaries of academic, military and trade discussions.

One fundamental but as yet unclassified category is whether ADD and Dyslexia have strong associations with the College Dropouts typical of leadership of this newly invented dot.com culture ... such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell, Ted Waitt, Shawn Fanning, Marc Andreeson, others ...
