		<description><![CDATA[The first "do it yourself" EEG biofeedback machine that I found online was called Play Attention.  They call it "edufeedback" actually.

They hide their prices on their website, but after calling them I was quoted $1795 for a 2-user home version or $2495 for an unlimited user professional version.  

Their website is playattention.com.

The ginseng did have a mild effect but it wasn't enough to really improve my concentration.  If there was any stimulant effect, it was cancelled out by its alcohol content.   The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've started to look into EEG Biofeedback, which seems to also be known as Neurofeedback.  

I inquired about it at a local clinic yesterday.  It sounded promising.  But it's so expensive!  They quoted me $4500 for 40 treatments.  They offered me a payment plan through a Capital One medical loan. [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it seems like everyone has concentration or attention problems of their own.  At work I notice people struggling with their projects.  I suspect that at least one [...]]]></description>

My parents used to buy ginseng root for my grandfather.  He thought it was strange and refused to eat it.  I think he sometimes did eat it, but not [...]]]></description>
