FAQ: Getting Started with Active Head
Understanding the Process and Expected Results
What exactly is Active Head software?
What exactly is Active Head software? >
Active Head is a therapeutic, computer-based attention training program designed to support focus, engagement, and self-regulation. It combines interactive games with carefully calibrated visual stimulation to help activate and regulate attention-related brain processes.
This combination is designed to support the brain’s natural attention and motivation systems, which are closely linked to dopamine regulation and sustained focus.
Over time and with consistent use, many users experience improved concentration, emotional regulation, and learning engagement.
How can games influence attention
and concentration? >
and concentration? >
The games serve as an engagement framework that keeps users motivated and involved in the process.
The therapeutic component involves carefully designed visual stimulation that works alongside gameplay to help regulate attention and arousal levels in the brain.
And its designed to influence brain systems involved in motivation, emotional regulation, and attention.
Over time, this approach may help strengthen intrinsic motivation, reduce mental overload, and support a calmer, more focused learning state.
Active Head is a non-medication-based approach and can be used independently or alongside medical treatment, depending on professional guidance.
A helpful analogy: while medication often increases stimulation directly, Active Head focuses on training attention regulation skills through repeated, guided practice.
Who developed Active Head? >
Active Head was developed by Dr. Gad Doar, an expert in attention disorders and learning challenges with over 40 years of professional experience.
Dr. Doar has worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults in the fields of attention, learning disabilities, and cognitive development.
Get to know Dr. Gad Duar >>
Is there evidence supporting the software's effectiveness? >
Yes. Active Head has been evaluated through both structured research and real-world clinical use.
Clinical Validation:
– A structured study involving approximately 100 children examined changes in attention-related functioning over time.
– The research was reviewed and validated by academic professionals affiliated with Bar-Ilan University.
– The study found meaningful improvements across several attention and learning-related measures for a majority of participants.
Real-world Impact:
– In addition to research findings, the software has been used by hundreds of families, educators, and adults in real-world settings.
– Many users report noticeable improvements in daily functioning, learning engagement, and emotional regulation.
– Extensive collection of success stories
When do we see results? >
In some cases, early changes are noticed sooner, while others may require a longer adjustment period.
For some individuals, more meaningful improvements emerge gradually over several weeks or months.
Is it guaranteed to help us? >
Our goal is to offer a thoughtful, supportive option and help families determine whether this approach is a good fit for their needs.
Sounds Amazing! Tell Me About Age Requirements
and Time Commitment
How many times a week should you use it? >
For optimal results, we recommend using the software at least 4 times per week, for 7–15 minutes per session.
Each session is intentionally short. Daily use is limited to a maximum of 15 minutes, helping prevent fatigue while maintaining effectiveness.
What age is the software suitable for? >
Active Head is suitable for users ages 4 and up, including children, teens, and adults.
The program includes a wide range of activities-games designed for pre-readers, school-aged children, teens, and cognitively engaging challenges for adults.
Do you have adult subscribers? >
Yes. Active Head is used by both children and adults, including men and women across a wide age range.
We continuously refine the user experience to ensure it remains engaging and appropriate for adult users as well.
Adult users have access to cognitive challenges such as logic games, strategy-based activities, puzzles (e.g., chess-style games, Sudoku-type tasks), and reflective content.
Adults often understand that the games are a means to an end-supporting focus, clarity, and mental regulation-rather than pure entertainment.
Why wouldn't the child get bored with the software? >
To reduce boredom and maintain engagement, Active Head includes hundreds of varied activities designed to keep the experience fresh and stimulating.
While the software is engaging, it is not designed purely for entertainment. Its primary goal is to support attention regulation and learning readiness.
If the focus were solely on entertainment value, the therapeutic purpose would be compromised. The design prioritizes effectiveness over constant novelty.
Parental support is important. Encouragement, routine, and positive reinforcement help children stay consistent during the early stages.
As children begin noticing improvements in their own focus and confidence, motivation typically increases and persistence becomes easier.
Do I need to use it at a certain time of day? >
There is no required time of day to use the software.
Many families prefer using it in the morning before school, but it can be used at any time that fits comfortably into your routine.

Why a Monthly Subscription Instead of One-Time Purchase? >
Attention and concentration challenges are not one-time issues that can be “fixed” with a single intervention. They involve ongoing neurological and developmental processes that benefit from consistent, structured support over time.
Why is there a three-month minimum commitment? >
Based on our experience with thousands of users, improvement through Active Head is gradual and accumulates over time.
While some users notice changes within a few weeks, the most meaningful and stable improvements typically emerge over several weeks to three months. A three-month period ensures a fair and realistic evaluation of results.
What happens after the initial three months? >
The first three months serve as a structured trial period. After that, the subscription continues on a month-to-month basis.
Starting from the fourth month, you may cancel at any time. Most users choose to continue because they experience ongoing benefits and continued improvement.

Medical Considerations
& Safety Information
Can Active Head be used alongside medication? >
Yes. Medication and Active Head work through different mechanisms and may be used together as part of a broader support approach, under appropriate professional guidance.
Complementary Approaches:
Medication: Typically increases or regulates brain activity through chemical stimulation and is effective within defined time windows.
Medication effects are time-limited and depend on dosage,
formulation, and individual response.
Active Head Software: Focuses on training attention regulation and engagement through repeated, structured cognitive and visual stimulation.
Supports intrinsic motivation for learning and sustained attention over time.
Aims to promote calmer, more regulated attention states through consistent use.
May complement medication by supporting attention regulation beyond medication hours.
Active Head may be used during periods when medication is active, if recommended by a healthcare provider.
It can also be used when medication effects diminish, such as later in the day.
Many families choose to use the software during medication-free times, including afternoons, Motsei Shabbat, weekends, school breaks, and holidays, depending on individual routines and needs.
Usage Precautions: Who Should Exercise Caution? >
Individuals with epilepsy or seizure disorders: Must consult with their treating physician before using Active Head. Medical approval is required prior to use.
Adult users: If dizziness, discomfort, or unusual symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
You may also contact our support team for assistance and next steps.
Children with additional developmental, neurological, or sensory needs: Professional consultation is strongly recommended before starting use.
Important Notice: Active Head is not a medical device and does not replace professional diagnosis or treatment. For medical questions, consult a qualified healthcare provider. For technical or usage questions, contact our support team at 1-646-349-0570.
Sounds like this is right for me How will I know the process is working well?
What parameters
should I check? >
should I check? >
When evaluating progress, look for changes in everyday functioning, such as:
• Improved concentration during class or learning activities
• Better understanding and retention of material
• Increased willingness or motivation to learn
• Greater overall calmness and emotional regulation
• Reduced impulsivity and restlessness
• Improved ability to fall asleep calmly at night
How will I know how to check for improvement? >
Observe day-to-day behavioral changes at home, school, and during structured activities.
Track performance over time, including schoolwork, attention span, and task completion.
Make brief notes of changes-both improvements and challenges-to identify patterns.
Based on these observations, adjust usage frequency gradually, if needed, and consult with professionals when appropriate.
The software helped and the child is balanced, can I stop using it?
If your child appears more balanced and stable, you may begin by gradually reducing usage rather than stopping abruptly.
Many families transition from 4–5 sessions per week to 2–3 sessions per week, while closely monitoring changes.
Continue observing focus, behavior, emotional regulation, and learning engagement to ensure progress is maintained.
If challenges begin to reappear, increasing frequency again is often helpful. When in doubt, consult a professional for guidance.
