The oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer are just displays.\u00a0 They have nothing to do with the training, just how the overall signal is portrayed on the screen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There have always been Tone generators free standing (the binaural beat always playing e.g. alpha theta), others linked in a conditional way to thresholds or AND objects (beats sounding only when the brain is out of the target range) and others linked to frequency activity so they track the peak frequency and change beat rates to \u201cherd\u201d the brain\u2019s activity in a specific direction.\u00a0 For example the beta percent up takes peak frequency and compares it to 14 Hz.\u00a0 If above, it subtracts 2 Hz from the peak and sets the beat rate there (19 Hz peak would result in a 17 Hz beat).\u00a0 If below, it adds 1 or 2 Hz from the peak and sets the beat rate there (e.g. 4Hz peak would result in a 6 Hz beat.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
All the 2 and 4-channel multiband coherence designs have both auto (on Instruments 1\u2013the client screen) and manual (on Instruments 2 \u2013trainer screen) thresholds. If either is in scoring range, there is feedback.\u00a0 The trainer shouldn\u2019t need to do anything but watch. Each band will be passing at least 80% of the time\u2013more if they are below the fixed\/manual target.\u00a0 With 4 bands, at least 40% of the time all will be in pass range at the same time, and the client will hear the deep tone as the video begins to move.\u00a0 The more the client stays in the target range, the more this happens (up to 100%).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There is always feedback activity in the chord, some notes sounding.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy enough to increase the feedback rates.\u00a0 In each of the auto thresholds, click in the button area beneath the bar graph. The button shows the percent of time the thresholds will be met. Each click will raise the automatic target by 1%.\u00a090% reward pretty much assures that the minimum time with video and the deep tone will be around 65%.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The bps reading is bits per second, a measure of the rate at which the software transforms the analog (waveform) to a digital (numeric) reading. Higher bps rates relate to greater resolution and finer detail, always at a trade-off though. 12 or 16 bits are generally considered to be quite acceptable by the engineers with whom I\u2019ve spoken. 8 is an acceptable lower end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
MIDI sounds have 12 tones (8 white notes and 4 black notes on a piano) per octave. 60 is middle C on the piano, so 48 would be the C below that, 72 would be the C above it, etc. You can choose any key and find the root notes in that key (like the C in the key of C). If C is 60, C-sharp is 61, D is 62, E-flat is 63, E is 64 (the third in the key of C), F is 64, F-sharp is 65, G is 66 (the 5th in the key of C), etc.\u00a0 To make a major chord in C, you would set one threshold to play 60, another to play 64 and the third to play 66.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you want to create a chord in another key, then you need to know the 3 or 4 notes that make up that chord and find them on the MIDI scale.\u00a0 For example, in the key of F, your root would be 64, your third would be 68 and your fifth would be 70.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Obviously major and minor seventh chords would add a fourth note, harmonic and melodic minor chords would usually drop the value of one of the notes by one step on the MIDI scale.\u00a0 If you want to use a Blues scale or Pentatonic or any of the other options, you\u2019ll need to know enough music theory to identify the appropriate notes in those.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Another very nice option is to play a melody line with the pitch of the note being played dependent on where in the range of training values the current reading is.\u00a0 For example, if theta is varying in a range between 10 and 22 microvolts (a range of 12), and you set your note range to 60 to 72 (also a range of 12), you can set the software to raise the note one step for each microvolt the signal increases\u2013or to decrease the pitch one note for each microvolt.\u00a0 The melody literally becomes the feedback.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
You can use brightness and volume controls on the DVD to avoid the choppiness of starting and stopping all the time instead of the Play\/Pause when you connect to Enable on the DVD player. Using a Yes\/No output to inform the Brightness or Volume (or both) controls.\u00a0 Then you set the input values (on the DVD Brightness properties, for example, to 0 and 1 and the brightness levels to something like 400m and 1.\u00a0 You can set a smoothing\/averaging for this to something like 125m.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The other option is to set your thresholds higher, so the client is scoring 80-85% in the beginning.\u00a0 As he improves, his scoring should go up to 90 or higher and the brain will be rewarded\u201d with very smooth playback of the DVD.\u00a0 Neurofeedback is brain shaping, not brain disciplining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
From the instruments menu choose edit layout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Resize the windows as you would in any other Windows file.\u00a0 Be careful not to click the X and close the window, which removes it from the design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Setting up the volume control instead of start-stop control for CD or DVD play will require you to change the Signal Diagram. You might want to hold off on that until you get a little more comfortable with the basics of the program.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
There is no way to copy and paste among signal diagrams.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
