"The emWave^® is the perfect tool for helping to bridge the connection between emotions and learning. I have used it in my classrooms for 9 years. My students quickly learn to self-regulate their emotions and then apply that skill in the classroom and day-to-day life. They have more interest in learning, perform better on tests and get along better."

Dianna Govan, Carmel High School Chairman, Special Education Department

emWave Desktop^® (Mac/PC)

For Academic Performance and Emotional Resilience

emWave Desktop^® is a scientifically validated hardware/software system that teaches techniques to help students create an optimal state in which the heart, mind and emotions are operating in-synch and balanced. We call this state coherence and it forms one of the main pillars of emotional resilience. This balanced physiological state underlies the ability to focus, comprehend and perform at ones fullest potential.

The easy-to-use software program with heart rhythm monitor is based on the recent understanding that emotions are reflected in our heart rhythm patterns. Using the emWave, students quickly learn how to self-regulate emotions and bring balance to their mental and emotional systems. This balanced state facilitates both academic and social performance.

The emWave helps students reduce learning and performance blocks such as test anxiety, poor memory recall, low motivation and behavioral attitude gridlocks due to peer pressure, anxiety and stimulation overload. This is why emWave benefits students in the home environment as much as in the classroom.

Using a pulse sensor plugged into the USB port, emWave Desktop collects and translates HRV (heart rate variability) data into user-friendly graphics which include heart rhythms and interactive games.

Students achieve coherence through simple-to-learn exercises and feed back. Student interest is maintained over the long term through the results they experience and several games the students can play. Before advancing in the games, students must first learn to self-regulate and balance their emotional state. Labs and Site Licenses are available.
