Mindfield MindPet | Vibrating Stuffed Animal

Vibrating stuffed animal for biofeedback & neurofeedback

The Mindfield MindPet is a stuffed animal with a built-in vibration motor and a connection cable to the tactile interface. It reacts by means of vibration to changes in the measured values during neurofeedback & biofeedback (e.g. when a set threshold is met). This vibrating stuffed animal is ideal for children who want to participate in biofeedback and neurofeedback training. The childlike design loosens up the whole atmosphere and distracts the children from the measuring devices.

In combination with the Mindfield Master devices, this provides vibration feedback to the test person. Depending on the training screen, this feedback is linked to the fulfilment of a condition and reacts immediately. It offers a suitable complement to the audiovisual feedback by means of bars, animations, videos and music within the bio- and neurofeedback training. The strength of the vibration can be adjusted on the tactile interface. This has the advantage that the children are not exposed to too strong vibrations which could unsettle them.

The vibrating stuffed animals come in a wide variety of shapes and forms, from appealing animal designs to comic book heroes like Spiderman. Get the MindPet for your little ones now and provide them with child-friendly biofeedback and neurofeedback training!

A tactile interface and a MindMaster device are always required (with the exception of the MindMaster Neuro 4). As an alternative to the MindPet stuffed animals, we also offer a vibration cushion. Like the MindPets, this is connected to a control unit and gives the test persons tactile feedback when a training condition is fulfilled.

We offer a wide range of variants (see photo), which we receive at random from the manufacturer Ty Inc. It is best to order a MindPet by telephone, then we can tell you straight away whether the model you want is still in stock. We will be happy to advise you! If you do not specify a variant, we will select one at random.

MindPet advantages

The MindPet vibrating stuffed animal offers a variety of advantages for biofeedback and neurofeedback training with children. This stuffed animal has been specially developed to make it easier for children to receive feedback on their body perception.

In the following paragraphs you will find the main advantages of the MindPet for biofeedback and neurofeedback training with children:

• Improved body awareness: With its adjustable vibration, the stuffed animal helps children to focus better on their body sensations. This gives them a better feeling for their muscle tension, breathing or heartbeat.
• Promotes concentration: The vibration of the stuffed animal serves as sensory feedback, which helps the children to concentrate better on the training and also to better understand the instructions of the trainer. The training becomes more effective and more fun.
• Relaxation: As the hardness of the vibration can be adjusted, it can be regulated so that it feels pleasant. This can lead to a calming effect, which relaxes the body and lowers stress levels. Thus, the children’s general well-being is greatly improved and they become more receptive to neurofeedback and biofeedback training.
• Emotional support: The vibrating stuffed animal functions also as emotional support for children in a situation that is foreign. The funny appearance of the MindPet makes the entire biofeedback and neurofeedback training seem more positive and playful. This builds positive emotions and associations with the training sessions.
