BioExplorer was a revolutionary piece of brain-training software at around 2000.  Larry Janow, its programmer, stayed involved with it for several years.  Brain-Trainer developed a set of training protocols and expanded them over several years.  We took over most of the tech support functions as Larry lost interest, and we made several attempts to re-activate his interest in producing a version 2 of the software, but, despite numerous promises of an update, he never produced anything further.  We finally realized that the software was not going to go forward.

BioEra was a platform designed to compete with BioExplorer but without a user interface.  After we realized that BioExplorer has a dead end, we had our own programmer produce an updated  version of brain-training software on the BioEra platform.  Many of the functions we had been requesting on BioExplorer were placed on Brain-Trainer for Bio Era, but the interface was very limited and again we had a programmer who had little interest in updating. Finally we decided to develop Brain-Trainer 2 from the ground up, with a first rate user interface and an extended range of protocols that included much better feedback options and training protocols that were not available on either of the other two platforms.  More importantly, BT2 was dramatically easier to learn, use and adjust.  We also shifted to a subscription payment model so home users are able to have the full use of the program’s features for very low cost.

We stopped selling BioExplorer several years ago as it became increasingly difficult to buy or get service for it and we no longer had the ability to update to protocols.  When BT2 was released, we stopped selling BT4BE.  It has not been updated in the past couple years, partly because a number of important changes cannot be made due to unwillingness of the BioEra programmer to update his code.  And it is very clumsy to use.  We now focus sales on BT2 for ease of use, linkage with the TQ8 assessment/training planning and its cost.  All of our constant updating efforts are focused on BT2.  The $50/month subscription assures that users get our best software, constantly being upgraded at our best price.  If you plan to work professionally, you can pay $1,200 for 3 years, which gives you BT2 at $33.33/month.  The TQ8 assessment and training planning software, which provides completely customized training for every client costs $40/month.
