Alive software for EmWave Desktop Hardware gives you extensive coaching tools, individualized performance tracking, and an array of software tools engineered to help you build mental and physical performance while having fun.

Alive, which also includes extensive coaching and individualized performance tracking, is especially effective in helping people achieve better mental agility and better performance in demanding physical and emotional job and life situations.

The Alive 30-Day Free trial is a great way to experience Alive before buying it. The Alive Free Trial, however, is software-only, and does not include the hardware you need to run Alive.

If you already own emWave Desktop hardware, you can use them with the Alive Free Trial.

Diagnostics, educational resources, progress tracking, and a virtual coach to teach you techniques for breathing to lower and smooth heart rate, how to interpret your body data, and to suggest a program for meeting your goals.

As you play the Alive Games and explore the Environments, the Coach stays with you throughout the entire experience, evaluating your progress, and helping you maximize the effectiveness of Alive — suggesting alternative programs and approaches as you play.

For training and development. Gorgeous visual environments to explore as you pace your breathing and smooth your heart rate include:

• Alive Environments Breath Spiral — Move shiny particles in a 3D space as you inhale and exhale. Paced breathing creates a smoother heart and expands a disc of particles into spiraling waves.
• Alive Environments Shape Shifter — The smoother your heart rate, the brighter a geometric shape becomes. Keep it smooth to see it morph into new forms.
• Alive Environments Metal Pulse — Use paced breathing to turn undulating waves from orange to an intense blue.
• Alive Environments Plasma — Use the pacer on the screen to smooth your heart rate and make undulating plasma appear. Slow the plasma by dropping your heart rate.
• Alive Environments Tropical Ocean — Relax to make the wind blow the palm fronds and the wave sounds intensify.
• Alive Audio Environments — Close your eyes, sink back into your chair, and breathe to smooth your heart rate. The more even your heart rate changes are, the more enveloping the music and relaxing sounds become. Choose from Rain, Stream, Waves, and Memory.

The most fun part of Alive. Includes Dual Drive Pro Manual, Dual Drive Pro Autopilot, and an assortment of Alive Mini Games, including:

• Dream House— Build a dream house from the ground up, beginning in the morning and finishing by parking your car in the new garage at sundown.
• Green Thumb — Make a gorgeous hyacinth bloom and wow you with its showy ultramarine flowers
• Four Seasons — Propel a natural scene through all four seasons, enjoying spring showers, lush summer foliage, fall thunderstorms and the bare beauty of winter.
• Alien Shuttle — Complete your alien mission by finding your way to the docking station in the mothership.
• Night Flight — Enjoy navigating through a twinkling and busy cityscape.
