The BrainMaster is a low-cost, flexible, general-purpose brainwave monitor. It connects to a PC in the same way that a modem does; but instead of communicating over the telephone network, it monitors brainwaves. It is immediately useful for applications in biofeedback, research, education, recreation, hobby, self-awareness, art, performance, brainwave-controlled systems, and virtual reality. It provides many of the same basic functions as systems costing many times more, in an innovative yet simple and economical design.
Its capabilities include recording 1 or 2 channels of brainwaves or related signals, data storage and retrieval, real-time signal processing and display, plus various forms of control and feedback. It includes many graphical display modes. It is possible to interface with the software, so that various external programs can control the BrainMaster, as well as be controlled, enabling user-developed applications to interact with live brainwave data. Control and data interfaces to Visual Basic, Pascal, C, and C++ are provided. With this device, you can digitally record, store, process, display, and work with brainwaves using any PC with Windows and a spare serial port. You will be able to monitor and display waveform characteristics such as alpha, beta, delta, or theta energy, the amount of symmetry in the brainwaves, or set up the system to respond to your brainwaves by creating displays, sounds, or other effects. This is useful for many applications in which there is a need to record and study brainwaves, to play games using brainwaves, or to use brainwaves to control a system, including interactive simulations and virtual reality displays.
NOTE: The BrainMaster is approved for clinical biofeedback applications. Federal law restricts its sale to or on the order of a biofeedback specialist or practitioner. The BrainMaster hardware and software is protected by US Patent # 5,899,867. This device is an outgrowth of the BrainMaster project started by Dr. Thomas F. Collura, for the furthering of the understanding of the brain and the mind.
The BrainMaster 2E is a portable, battery powered EEG monitor, ideal for clinical use or home training.
Included with the system:
Hardware including amplifier/digitizer Software including many video and audio feedback options 5 gold disk electrodes, cleaning gel & conductivity fluid Training Video Battery charger Protective carrying case User manual EEG electrode application manual Built in capabilities:
Statistical summaries Percent time over threshold display On-the-fly threshold adjustments Dual monitor capability with Wwindows 98 and above 8 digital filters per channel (16 total) with quadrature filtering Live spectral displays Artifact rejection mode Features:
MIDI and WAV file sounds Flexible protocols and adjustable frequency bands 1- and 2-channel training Coherence, phase, synchrony training EEG save and playback Software programming interface Optically isolated for safety Laptop compatible Periodic software updates available
What does The BrainMaster consist of? It consists of a small (paperback book-sized) battery-powered module, Windows-based PC software, and electrodes. The module is optically isolated from the PC. It contains 2 EEG amplifiers, a microprocessor controller, and the interface to the PC. The Windows software is used to communicate with the module, acquire brainwave signals, and process and display them. Your PC must be a Pentium/350, or faster, and have a spare COM: (RS-232 or "modem") port.

"A light and sound machine is a brainwave entrainment tool. The method by which this
entrainment occurs is known as the Frequency Following Response (FFR). Through
the use of audio (headphones) & visual (eye frames with LEDs) stimulation,
listeners are gently guided into specific brainwave states. Each audio beat and
pulse is a specific frequency. Our minds "think" in terms of frequency.
Brainwaves change frequencies based on neural activity within the brain, be it
by hearing, touch, smell, vision and/or taste. These senses respond to activity
from the environment and transmits that information to the brain via electrical
signals. Hearing + vision are considered the favorable senses for affecting
brainwaves safely. By presenting these beats & pulses to the brain, within a few
minutes, the brain begins to mimic or follow the same frequencies as the stimuli
(the beats and pulses). This process is referred to as entrainment. In essence,
these instruments speak to the
