The Highway game simulates the view from the back window of a car driving down a highway, apparently traveling away from a snow-capped mountain range. The width of the blue or green bar at the bottom of the screen represents the amplitude of the reward frequency band at the moment, just like the center box in Boxlights. Boxes to the left and right represent the amplitudes of the low and high frequency inhibit bands. The near end of the highway varies in width with the central bar (the sides of the Highway are actually a profile of the EEG), but recedes in the distance showing the amplitude over the last seconds. To add interest, and also to give the client a sense of his scoring performance over previous time, a white stripe appears on the center of the highway each time he scores, accompanying the beep and the count. To extend that sense of performance, a star appears in the sky with each beep and stays there for the duration of the three-minute training period. A special visual reward occurs when the score reaches 500 or 1000 or 1500 points. Similar to Boxlights, the box sizes are a function of amplitudes driven by which layout is used. In this case, the left half of the highway corresponds to the uppermost reward trace and the right side to the lowermost reward trace.

The therapist K key generates a reward display.
