| The
Brainmaster EEG Biofeedback product line is one of the great success
stories of biofeedback It's a unique system, originally designed by
Tom Collura, who, in his other life, used to design multi-million dollar
brain imaging systems. He's taken a unique approach, allowing the
Brainmaster project to become a worldwide Internet supported collaboration
of a group of people all over the world, via listserve group.
Futurehealth was the
first company to start offering the Brainmaster and we are thrilled to see
it has attained the level of popularity it deserves. Now, Brainmaster is
one of the best-selling EEG systems. We're glad to have done our part to
help make it happen. We continue to have a very close working relationship
with the company.

MINI-Q™ SYSTEM MQ-1
BrainMaster MINI-Q™ Add-On works with 2 EW Modules (2.0SE or 2.5 Software).
While not a QEEG or a replacement for a QEEG, the MINI-Q™ provides a simple,
quick EEG assessment method. Operates
with an ElectroCap, BrainMaster’s FlexCap, or with manually attached
electrodes. Scan 12 EEG channels in 6 minutes, using 1-minute epochs. Can
use any epoch length you want, and can break up records for eyesclosed,
eyes-open, task condition, etc. BrainMaster’s specialized MINI -Q™ software
simplifies the assessment process from start to finish. It automatically
controls, times and pauses all data-taking, prompts you to set the switch
position, allows you to preverify all waveforms visually before data-taking,
and then organizes all data for display, graphing, Excel export, etc. Reads
locations: Fz, Cz; F3, F4; C3, C4; T3, T4; P3, P4; O1, O2. All records are
labeled with proper electrode identifiers. Using the MINI-Q™ assist
software, it is easy to gather a substantial mini-assessment, with a minimum
of confusion or errors. This system can assist with mini-assessments as
described by various practitioners. Data reports include amplitude (microvolts
), FFT energy (percent), variance, and dominant frequency for each of 8
frequency bands, component ratios (theta/beta, etc), plus coherence, phase,
and asymmetry between channel pairs. A variety of templates and mac-ros are
available for interpretation, graphical display, and reporting. MINI-Q™ is
an ideal way to obtain continued “snapshots” of a trainee’s overall EEG
state. It is simple enough to conduct before and after training, to assess
short-term effects. MINIQ ™ can be done in many situations in which a full
QEEG may be impractical, costly, or simply unavail-able. Whereas there may
be a question about the need for a QEEG in any given situation, the MINI-Q™
always provides an assessment alternative that is simple, reliable, and
cost-effective. MINI-Q is a trademark of BrainMaster Technologies, Inc.
MINI-Q patent pending. MINI-Q™ can be interpreted by Soutar, Demos,
NeuroGuide and Z Score DLL Training.

Why
BrainMaster?
Single
Source –
BrainMaster is a single source of hardware, software, support, and training.
Although we do support third-party packages and enhancements, you do not
need to go to one source for hardware, another for software, another for
“setups”, another for support, etc. In addition, the entire BrainMaster
system is approved for clinical use, providing both the clinician and the
trainee with a system that can be used with confidence.
Simplicity –
You can configure and apply basic protocols with only a few mouse clicks.
You do not need to acquire setups or designs from anyone else, although a
wide range of special packages and software are available. Just create a
training “folder”, choose the settings file, and begin. Settings can be
changed at any time, using our setup screens, or “on the fly”. It is also
very simple to design custom protocols. All designs are done with simple
control screens, allowing you to select the parameters, displays, and sounds
suited to the task. All changes are automatically remembered for the next
session, allowing you to pick up where you left off.
Ease of
use -
No need to design detailed screens, processing designs, or outputs.
BrainMaster’s unique panel and window design allows you to choose displays
up front, or while running. Even if you did not anticipate the need to see
a particular component or display, you can always select it on the fly, and
view it, then turn it back off again in an instant. The same is true of our
sound modes, voices, and feedback modes. You can get what you need, when
you need it.
Consistency –
BrainMaster’s built-in processing is uniform and consistent. While you can
change many parameters (frequency bands, thresholds, autothreshold targets,
etc), you can be confident that if you leave them as is, you will get
consistent and repeatable results. No need to wonder about what the
underlying design has built into it, what another user may have changed, or
what is unique about a “special” design.
Quality
–
Our signal processing routines are optimized for EEG training. Based upon
years of research in analog and digital techniques, the BrainMaster’s unique
Quadrature Analyzer provides fast and accurate feedback of all EEG variables
including amplitude, phase, frequency, coherence, similarity, comodulation,
and other component values. Our built-in envelope detection, coherence and
phase calculation, and related functions provide responses faster than
conventional designs, which is significant for effective EEG training.
Moreover, both fast Quadrature Digital Filters and Fast Fourier Transforms
(FFT) are used, to provide an ideal combination of fast response for
training, plus comprehensive analysis for spectral displays and statistics.
Confidence –
with over 4000 systems in service, BrainMaster is field-proven. And with
over 200 improvements since our first system appeared in 1995, you know that
the latest techniques and features are available, or coming soon, under our
continued aggressive development programs. In addition, our unique “Remote”
architecture allows clinicians to deploy home systems with confidence,
knowing that the trainees are using the prescribed protocols, which can be
easily changed under remote control, and that results will be consistently
reported.
Versatility –
BrainMaster systems can be used for assessment as well as training, and are
also ideal for teaching, research, and other applications. A wide range of
hardware and software extensions are available, including our MultiMedia
Player, EEG Audio “Deep States” software, the MINI-Q assessment tool, and
the NeuroGuide software from Applied Neuroscience, just to name a few.
Breadth
–
BrainMaster provides EEG instrumentation, software, sensors and connectors
including our FlexTrode and FlexCap systems, StimFlash and Interactor
hardware and software for photic and vibrotactile stimulation, additional
animation and sound software, the MINI-Q assessment tool and support
software, plus other enhancements and extensions.
Registered –
BrainMaster equipment and software is clinical-grade. Applicable testing
and registration (FDA, IEC 60601-2, CE, etc). It is suited for clinical or
research use, both for EEG and for biofeedback. When combined with other
clinical packages such as NeuroGuide, it provides a quality end-to-end
solution for EEG assessment and training.
Expansion –
BrainMaster has added dozens of features and options to the system, since
our inception in 1995. It is possible to add capabilities as they become
available, or as you need them, at any time. We also offer upgrade paths
for both software and hardware, to allow users to remain current as new
capabilities and specifications become available (when technically
possible).
Professionalism -
Leading clinicians, educators, and researchers use BrainMaster systems, and
the body of published material citing BrainMaster is growing. The
BrainMaster staff also works with, and has held positions with, professional
organizations such as the ISNR and the AAPB. These ties help us to
encourage professional standards, as well are research and education.
Reporting –
All component values (amplitude, frequency, coherence, phase, etc) are
consistently and automatically logged to disk regardless of the training
protocol used. You are always able to retrieve and review session results,
even while the session is running! No postprocessing or special steps are
necessary. You can run your sessions under time pressure and clinical
demands, confident that the session results are safely put away, for easy
review in a minute, in an hour, or in a year. A wide range of review options
provides graphs, text summaries, reports, and Excel spreadsheets, all at the
touch of a button, for all your training sessions.
Remote
Support –
you are never more than a few mouse clicks away from our Session Librarian
that allows you to compress, package up, and email or save all session
data. Settings and results are saved in a single file, that provides a
digital “trainee folder” that can be transported to other computers, run on
them, and moved to other computers when needed to service a wide range of
home, school, office, and other remote environments, plus maintain clinical
oversight and control when needed.
Experience and Commitment –
The BrainMaster system and company are backed by individuals with many years
of experience in the fields of EEG, clinical neurophysiology, computer
science, personal improvement, biofeedback, and product development and
marketing. Our experience is applied to providing a comprehensive set of
products and services directed toward the needs of the neurofeedback and
clinical EEG community. We are committed to ongoing results, not just to a
single product or service.
Affordability -
BrainMaster’s philosophy has always remained the same. Offer the highest
quality for the most affordable cost. With BrainMaster you are able to begin
clinical training or remote home training economically yet be assured of the
highest quality available. And, you may add additional software or other
features to the system when you choose, at a time when adding equity fits
your budget.
