Zukor Interactive

Free Installation Support. Free Training. Free Upgrades.

Operating neurofeedback and biofeedback systems are complicated. We’ve designed Zukor’s Air (and our other feedback products) to be feature-rich, but also simple and intuitive. Our goal provide clinicians the best feedback games and to make sure the experience of using them is as easy as possible.

To support these goals, we offer free installation support, free training and free upgrades. This support not only covers how to use Zukor’s Air, but also how to use it with your specific neurofeedback or biofeedback system.

"We pride ourselves on offering the best customer support in the industry and we are relentless in helping clinicians solve any problems that might arise. Simply put, we will never let you down and we will make sure Zukor’s Air works right for you.”

Broad Appeal

Zukor’s Air is designed to strongly appeal to a very broad range of people, including all ages of men, women, boys, girls and children. Zukor’s Air has 40 flying objects in three categories: Aircraft (25), Animals (5) and Fantasy (10). Whether you are training a 13-year-old boy, a 29-year-old woman, a 50-year-old man or a 9-year-old girl, Zukor’s Air has something for everyone.

The broad range of aircraft include historic (Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Red Barron), WWII era (P-51 Mustang, Spitfire, Zero), modern military (A10 Warthog, F-22 Raptor, B-2 Stealth Bomber), commercial (747, MD-11 “Hot Pink”), experimental (X-29), small private (Beechcraft Bonanza, Great Lakes Bi-Plane), fun fictional (Wooden Toy Airplane, “WTF” Wingless Titanium Flyer) and two helicopters.

The animals include a Flying Squirrel, a Monarch Butterfly and a Ruby Macaw Parrot.

The fantasy creatures include four dragons, a griffin, a dinosaur, a pink flying pig and an alien on a jet-powered chrome surfboard.

There are also three unique 1st person options where “you” are flying.

Highly Customizable & Options Galore

Zukor’s Air offers an unprecedented amount of features, options and customizability to fit the needs of the individual clinician’s feedback training style, as well as the unique needs of each. Clinicians frustrated by current feedback games’ lack of options will be amazed to see that Zukor’s Air has 9 separate areas of options, each of which have up to 55 individual choices.

Clinicians use varied neurofeedback and biofeedback protocols, so feedback games should be flexible as well. Zukor’s Air does just that and allows the clinician to adjust the game to fit their individual needs. This extensive level of choice and control provide myriad benefits for both clinicians and, including those discussed below.

Interesting, but not over stimulating

Clinicians in the field of neurofeedback have varying opinions and preferences about the level of visual and auditory complexity and stimulation needed for feedback options. Some clinicians and prefer a simple environment, keeping the stimulation level at a minimum. Others prefer some complexity to the feedback, as found in games, but do not want anything too stimulating.

Zukor's Air in unique in that the clinician can tailor the complexity and involvement of the game to meet the clinical needs of each. Zukor’s Air effectively allows the clinician to “dial up or dial down” the stimulation level to suit their neurofeedback training beliefs and/or the needs of individual.

The clinician can achieve this through the abundant options built into the game, such as increasingly sophisticated levels, standard and fantasy characters, night or day mode, plus dozens of additional game variables the clinician can easily control.

Clinician experience enhanced

One of the main complaints we have heard from clinicians is that the currently available feedback games quickly become an irritant to the clinicians themselves. The reasons are numerous, but ultimately are caused by the inability to change things within the game. This and hearing complain about the lame games can significantly impact clinician fatigue during back-to-back neurofeedback sessions.

Zukor’s Air and our other feedback games solve this problem by giving the clinician control over all variables, clinical and visual, within the feedback game. Clinicians will find flexibility, variety and even enjoyment while working with all day using Zukor’s Air. Flying through a beautiful and ever changing environment is both interesting and relaxing, not just for the, but for the clinicians themselves.

Not an adapted video game

Zukor’s Air is not a video game adapted for use as a feedback game. Rather, it is a sophisticated audiovisual feedback tool which incorporates only appropriate and productive video game techniques. To some extent, it’s not what’s in Zukor’s Air that’s important, it’s what is excluded, since most concepts employed in mainstream video games are counter-productive for neurofeedback training.

For Zukor’s Air, we evaluated mainstream video game features one-by-one and incorporated only those that fit the unique requirements for an effective neurofeedback game. Then, we made as many of these elements as possible customizable so the clinician could adjust the game to their needs.

Engagement

Many clinicians report that some of the biggest challenges they face in working with, especially with kids, are:

1. Getting the to focus during a feedback session.

2. Getting the to come back for their next appointment.

Zukor’s Grind helps resolve both issues in several ways.

Increase focus during feedback session

Effective neurofeedback requires the to maintain a relaxed-focused state for extended periods of time during each neurofeedback session. Many clinicians report falling asleep during neurofeedback sessions. A sleeping is not receiving effective neurofeedback. Likewise, even among who are awake, many lose focus, or become agitated, which also reduces the effectiveness of the neurofeedback session. The problem is universal, but it is particularly acute in children, adolescents and teenagers, especially boys.

Zukor’s Air’s multiple truly unique game levels and many customizable game settings, including aircraft and fantasy characters, time of day lighting choices, and many more easy-to-change options, add variety to the feedback experience which thus reduces boredom and increases focus during the neurofeedback training.

Increased retention

One of the chief problems many clinicians face is keeping returning for their next neurofeedback session, i.e. retention. As one clinician bluntly put it, “What good is neurofeedback if the doesn’t return for their next appointment?” Zukor’s Air helps the clinician get the return for their next neurofeedback session in several ways.

In addition to multiple unique levels and many customizable game settings, Zukor’s Air’s multi-faceted, built-in incentive system helps keep focused during their neurofeedback session and also highly motivated to return. Zukor’s Air’s incentive system includes selectable “nicknames,” period and session scores calculated in multiple ways displayed on a separate Scores screen, a “Top Scores” feature from which can compare their scores to other (via their nickname only) and a printable Scores screen which can take home.

Through these features and options, Zukor’s Air will help get, especially the kids, to come back for their next session. This also essentially extends the practical usefulness of the feedback game for each. “I used to have to literally bribe the kids with toys and even money to get them to return for each session,” notes that same clinician. “Now, they want to come back to play Zukor’s Air again.”
