Listen is an auditory training game produced by the University of California Riverside (UCR) Brain Game Center for Mental Fitness and Well-being; A research unit focused on brain fitness methods and applications. Listen integrates principles of perceptual learning and auditory neuroscience in a reward-based game framework that reinforces program adherence and maintains training efficacy. In the game experience, players find themselves in control of a wisp that must navigate through perilous obstacles by responding appropriately to specific sound cues in order to absorb energy from objects in the environment. The sound cues are based upon language primitives and sound features that selectively drive neurons in the auditory cortex of the brain. While at first the sounds are easy to discriminate, the game’s adaptive algorithms measure each players’ ability to discern the sounds and trains players at their individual threshold of performance. Give it a listen and train your hearing.

Great app, needs easier levels

Fun app that hopefully will be expanded to add easier levels which prolong duration of sounds that are presented and prolong the time to respond to the tones. Also the option to manually adjust difficulty levels would be nice. As a speech-language therapist I suspect the starting level will be too difficult for many. Children and adults need affordable options to help ameliorate auditory processing problems. It would be great to see this app adapted so that It might not only help average people maintain brain fitness but help adults and children with auditory processing problems.

A great first step in mobile-based auditory training

Good job team! As someone very familiar with the auditory industry, who understand the need for convenient and functional auditory training, this is a great first step in trying to achieve this. Hopefully this will inspire more efforts in developing these types of platforms. I appreciate the pioneering effort!

Working fine for us

This was created for a research study. It lacks some instructions for personal use. I found that turning the volume up all the way, and using headphones (placing in the correct ears) works great. This is a well thought out app and I hope to see progress for my child.

Great App! Instructions are clear and fun

The descriptions of the bars on the sides and explanations of the ways I will progress are early helpful. It feels like you are encouraging me, and I need your reassurance that I can do better the more I try. Sound inside my head is a fun experience. Thanks!

Minor bug fixes.
