HeartTuner comes complete as is with extensive brainwave
biofeedback capability
this means that you need no additional software
to see complete
waterfall time history power spectral plots of eeg
for 1 and 2 channel operation
the supplied electrodes work well for brainwaves,
optional electrodes make that more professional by reducing
eye movement noise
the only thing the native heart tuner software does
not do
is make it possible to deliver positive reward for programmed
cues
when reaching a goal in one particular harmonic
that is professional neurofeedback learning usually
only done in
ADD and addiction therapy
that service is offered by the new braintuner software
which is currently
only being released to those who submit evidence on official stationary
that they are going to produce scientific research in a clinical
setting
--
you can see how much you CAN do with existing software as standard
supplied
it is all the brainwave pictures here up to
the words
"below - images will require the NEW BrainTuner
software for HeartTuner which is to be released soon."
First: Here is the new Brainwave analysis shown with
the EXISTING HeartTuner software as distributed for use with Heart
EKG work. In order to get this clean data it IS necessaary to
obtain the new EEG Ear Clip Type Electrodes
(see accessories / heartcoherence.com )
(also new accessory - pic below - see Schumann resonance
antenna for HeartTuner at ../earthtuner
The first set of data screens below, illustrate how
the presently distributed 'HeartTuner' software environment enables
teaching BRAINWAVE coherence. Here, we are using the OPTIONAL
but available brainwave electrodes (earclip type) and successfully
measuring EEG professionally, by merely switching to hi-gain on
the software pre-amp (eeg vs ecg slider switch).
above: brainwave COHERENCE measured. Electrodes for
these top 5 images are in the rear of the head (optical cortex)
with ear clip ground.
above and below here, very clear ALPHA frequencies
in the brainwaves picked up with rear electrode placement (optical
cortex) to HeartTuner - this onset of hi ALPHA happened repeatedly
just during eye closure.
above: Heart Coherence in PHASE with Brain coherence
- measured - the Heart Head link...
Then Below, see the beta test screens for the new HeartTuner
"BrainTuner" software environment currently in test
mode (not distributed) expressly designed to facilitate Neurofeedback
empowering treatment for addiction / attention deficit.
below - images will require the NEW BrainTuner software
for HeartTuner which is to be released soon.
Here below - real brainwave sharp decrease in ALPHA
(yellow) spectral power accurately accompanies Opening Eyes.
New HeartTuner software will be called Brain Tuner
Intended to be an evolution past current Neurofeedback
EEG software enviornments
for Teaching ATTENTION..
in Attention Deficit Therapies, and Addicition Therapy
etc.
Sample Screens:
A preliminary demo will be available as soon as development
reaches appropriate phase, to HeartTuner users, the full Brain
Biofeedback Software enviornment will be an optional upgrade to
the HeartTuner system. The hardware preamp works for both, but
the improved brainwave electrode transducers (see accessories)
are recommended. (Altho the Heart EKG transducers can measure
brainwaves, more accurate placement with less noise suggests the
ear-clip improved type).
Switchable thresholds and programmable feedback limits
are available to each bandwidth, alpha - theta delta etc.
The yellow lines above and below each filter (green)
are the moveable goal limits which determine if feedback reward
is offered for that bandwidth. (ENHANCE is if power density in
that spectral window is ABOVE the preset, INHIBIT is if power
density is BELOW the preset.)
Then what each filter does is programmable - more extensively
than past systems.
The user can learn from various programmed feedback
positive re-inforcement - including movement rate thru a film
loop etc.
Then the user can quickly see the relative POWER of
each ALPHA - THETA- DELTA etc. bandwidth.
Here see the increase in ALPHA (yellow) which corresponds
to the moment of EYES OPEN.
Above- Eyes are closed at PINK arrows, OPEN at YELLOW
arrows.
The user can also see a waterfall plot of the power
spectra of the EEG over time.
AND the user will have access to the radical new SEPTRUM
measuring OVERALL INTERNAL COHERENCE in brainwaves,
which may well be the first time real brain coherence
has been quantified in biofeedback. Is this attention itself -
made measureable?
