“I believe this might be the first thing that has ever really addressed my anxiety." Anne-Marie, TX
THE SCIENCE: How Does StarStarter Work? StarStarter’s core therapeutic method is a game-based approach to a subconscious cognitive training method called Attention Bias Modification (ABM). The human brain has the unique ability to recognize facial expressions subconsciously, as a baby responds to a parent’s smile. StarStarter uses facial expressions within game play to re-train emotional and attentional patterns that can drive persistent feelings of anxiety.
StarStarter’s proprietary training method has been designed and optimized through a decade of NIH-funded neuroscientific research by our Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary. To see our peer reviewed research, you can view it at www.arcadetherapeutics.com/research/.

New user. Will not let me register. After I put in my password it jumps on the screen and nothing happens. Revised- I tried to register again, and I had to tap continue about a dozen times, then when I put in my zip code, and I tap continue it erases the zip code. I had to retry about 6 times before it finally registered. Then it needs a credit card to proceed. Sketchy App.
