While all kinds of claims are made for this kind of software, it has never been stringently tested. We are engaged in an academic research program which will yield results in the not too distant future, but in the meanwhile you can participate in a public research program we are running if you would like to.
You can download a version of the software for this purpose for free.
This version of the software will work actively only on alternate
months. By taking an industry standard psychological test at the beginning and end of the alternating test periods the user can establish exactly how effective this software is for them.
If you wish to participate, you will need:-
- To be interested in reducing or eliminating depression and / or anxiety and / or stress symptoms.
- A windows operating system, minimum Windows 98.
- A minimum CPU of pentium 3 or equivalent with at least 128 meg of ram installed.
- To agree to carry out the DASS test three times, once at the beginning of the study, which commences whenever you install the software, once at the end of the first month, and once at the end of the second month.
- To agree to submit the run time of the software - the number of hours it has run in each month. This is displayed on the main interface of the software.
You will also need to have installed the Microsoft .NET environment, but if you do not have this installed already the installation and set-up program will automatically install it for you, provided you are connected to the Internet at the time.
On completion of the study you will receive a free copy of the fully functional software which is yours to keep.
