BrainAvatar. Complex, Yet Simple

BrainAvatar. Complex, Yet Simple

“Simple can be harder than complex:
You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there,
you can move mountains.”

― Steve Jobs

Yes, BrainAvatar can be complex. But it does not have to be.  It’s your choice.

From the first days, users have come to BrainMaster asking for new features and functions. All kinds of functions, some new, some old, some innovative, advanced ideas, some “old school” as well. Over the years, we have added most of them, while keeping existing things together, so we can do it all. Since then, we have added more than a hundred specific improvements, extending the range and capabilities of BrainAvatar.

The system currently has no equal in the scope and power of its functions. No matter what protocols or setups or tasks you have or can imagine, BrainAvatar can do it.  No other system can make this claim.

We hate to say no. Every feature and function ever included in the BrainMaster software from the first day is available in BrainAvatar. From the simplest “thermometer” displays for power training as few as a single channel, to whole-head brain region-of-interest displays and multimedia neurofeedback, it is all there.

STILL!

That is why there are so many controls
and options in the system. We hate to take anything away from our users. As a result, BrainAvatar provides:

• The most powerful screen designer in the industry.

• An unequalled
array of display panels and objects, tightly linked to EEG processing.

At a conference, we may have as many screens possible on display: basic EEG, simple neurofeedback, whole-head z-scores, and so on. When a visitor asks us, “What is that?” We answer, “That is BrainAvatar.” 

When they turn to another screen and ask
, “Then what is that?” We answer “That is brain Avatar”

“But I thought that
was BrainAvatar” “They both are”

BrainAvatar is a chameleon and a Swiss Army Knife
.  It can look like — and do — what you want and need. Whatever meets your expectations, BrainAvatar can do.

Here are some of the questions,
to which we have always had the same answer — “YES!”

• Can I have a threshold?

• Can I have an configurable and adjustable autothreshold?

• Can I define my own frequency bands and colors?

• Can I invent my own formulas and rules, and program them in? (Yes, using the Event Wizard.)

• Can I set up scheduled sessions with pauses, etc. (Yes, using the Session Wizard.)

• Can I have a sustained reward criterion?

• Can I have a refractory period?

• Can i have proportional pitch and amplitude feedback?

• Can I have onscreen bar graphs with markers?

• Can I have a text display that I can design?

• Can I add anything to the panel?

• Can I have selectable tabs with different displays?

• Can I use it for meditation?

• Can I train below 1 hz?  (Yes, 1-19 channels,  – including both surface and sLORETA.)

• Can I train below .1 hz?  (Yes, 1-19 channels,  – including both surface and sLORETA.)

• Can I train below .01 hz?  (Yes, 1-19 channels,  – including both surface and sLORETA.)
• Can I train below .001 hz (yes, 1-19 channels,  – including both surface and sLORETA.)

• Can I adjust to .0001 hz? (Yes, 1-19 channels,  – including both surface and sLORETA.)

• Can I have sLORETA coherence z scores?

• Can I have sLORETA network training and coherence?

Here are some of the singular and proprietary advantages you receive from BrainMaster.

• The only system that fully integrates, in one platform, clinical grade FDA and internationally registered EEG acquisition and display, plus 1 to 24 channel neurofeedback.

• A full array of surface metrics
, displayed in real time, along with multiple LORETA displays — sLORETA, eLORETA, xLORETA.

• Unequaled multimedia,
wireless, neuromodulation, in an extendable system.

• With our latest software improvements,
you can now “simplify down” the system to meet your needs.  • All of the control panels are now able to be seen or hidden, based on your needs.

• If you do only QEEG acquisition,
you will only see the controls you need to do that job. Same for simple power training or basic z-score training.

• Our system is now more intuitive
and efficient, like an electric vehicle or even a spaceship.

• Our new setup system allows you to
see images and videos and instructional material as you look through the various available protocols, to see what they look like before you run them.

• Research info can be found in more than
400 publications from more than 40 countries, that documents thousands of research and clinical hours, with positive outcomes with a safe and effective system.

Everything BrainMaster has to offer is more simple, sleek, and efficient. We have designed our software specifically for what you need to make each of your tasks the most effective they can be.

“There are two ways of constructing a software design:
One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies,
and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
The first method is far more difficult.”
