The IFEN dimmer is another innovation from IFEN Neuroscience Research.
The IFEN dimmer allows you to use any screen content for feedback. Typically, this involves viewing movies (from a hard drive, YouTube, DVD, or online streaming services) through the dimmer window.
When the dimmer is activated, a variable-sized window appears, revealing the area behind it as soon as certain criteria are met during neurofeedback/biofeedback. Usually, when the threshold is exceeded or fallen below, this window becomes brighter or clearer, making the application (film, game) more visible.
The IFEN dimmer can be set with different colors as the foreground. For example, blue for calming and a positive mood, green for pain relief.
The IFEN dimmer is the ideal addition to your neurofeedback sessions, allowing you to integrate several effects into a single session. It is also compatible with all other IFEN neurofeedback games.
Clicking within the dimmer window: This new feature allows you to control applications through the dimmer window. This primarily applies to games or fast-forwarding and rewinding videos, such as on YouTube.
Neurofeedback is understood as a self-regulation process based on reinforcement learning, where self-regulation is acquired through contingent feedback.
Motivation, salience of the reinforcer, and sustained engagement are considered important moderators of learning success. Since the subjective motivational value of feedback can vary between individuals and decrease with repeated exposure, the adaptive design of feedback environments is discussed as an approach to maintain effective reinforcement.
Against this background, offering multiple feedback or game options can be understood as a theoretically sound strategy to support engagement, reduce habituation effects, and maintain the reinforcing value of feedback across training sessions, thereby potentially favoring learning stability and the transfer of effects (Schwartz & Andrasik, 2016; Enriquez-Geppert et al., 2017; Lubianiker et al., 2022; Sitaram et al., 2024).
