Interactive Metronome
From the site: "The IM program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions. Over the course of the treatment, patients learn to: focus and attend for longer periods of time, increase physical endurance and stamina, filter out internal and external distractions, improve ability to monitor mental and physical actions as they are occurring, and progressively improve performance."

Speed Stacks, Inc.
From the site: "Cup stacking is now the fastest growing new sport in the country. Participants stack and unstack twelve specially designed plastic cups in pre-determined sequences. Stackers race against the clock for fastest or best times. Stackers also compete on a relay team racing against another team in head-to-head competition. Increasing bilateral proficiency (equal performance on both sides of the body) develops a greater percentage of the right side of the brain, which houses awareness, focus, creativity and rhythm."
