<p>How do these software work? Is there a clear algorithm I can follow to make one by myself? </p>

<p>I can make software for Mac, Web and Mobile. I also have two EEG headsets: Emotiv Epoc and Neurosky MindWave Mobile. I can connect with these, record EEG and so on using Python and Objective C. But I cannot find out how a Neurofeedback software decides when and what to modify in an audio or video play back to train the brain.</p>

Two areas of interest:
1) Increase attention / focus. (For students in our training centers)
2) Reduce anxiety (For some of our adult customers especially executives)

like if you're doing it for fun then all the power to you.  but selling something that is not proven to work, and may be harmful, is borderline unethical/exploitative

We are planning on offering them for free, not for a price. Because like you said, we don't know how many will find it beneficial and also if we can measure the improvements.

Back to the original question: how do these software work? Example: http://www.mindreflector.com/ They claim to be beneficial for your brain. Why did you say these are not proven to work and may be harmful?

I like to know where companies like Mindreflector get the algorithms.

Is there any publicly available algorithms for Neurofeedback using EEG?
