2, 4 & 19 Channel Instantaneous Z Score EEG Biofeedback

In 2004 Applied Neuroscience, Inc. is the original inventor of Z score EEG biofeedback.   The 1st real-time or "live" Z score controlling biofeedback was distributed as a dynamic link library (DLL) to companies in 2004.  Agreements were formed with companies that already existing scalp surface EEG Biofeedback products using raw EEG data and they want to use their software environment to add Z scores based on the raw values computed in about 1 microsecond or in real-time for 2, 4 and 19 channels.  

The companies today that sell the surface EEG real-time Z scores inside of their neurofeedback software environments are Advanced Brain Monitoring, Brainmaster, Deymed, EEG Spectrum, NeuroField, Nexus and Thought Technology. 

Purchase of the ANI Z score real-time Z scores must be through the various companies listed above as licensed by ANI.   Contact these companies directly to purchase.   Prices for DLLs that produce real-time Z scores of surface EEG for purposes of controlling biofeedback are: 2 channels = $895, 4 channels = $995 and 19 channels = $2,000

 

There are many potential uses of real-time EEG statistical analyses such as:

  1. EEG Biofeedback 

  2. ICU monitoring of the EEG for immediate feedback  

  3. Battle field assessments of the EEG

  4. Active task evaluations using instantaneous EEG analyses

  5. Anesthesia monitoring using statistical evaluation of the EEG

  6. etc.

This product is available for qualified software developers only.  For further details Contact Us at qeeg@appliedneuroscience.com.

An example of a potential use of instantaneous statistical analyses of the EEG is in EEG Biofeedback where the moment to moment comparison to a reference normal group of subjects is computed in real-time.   The idea is to use Z Scores as a threshold and to reinforce Z = 0, or Z = + or - 1, or a range of Z Scores depending on the judgment of the qualified biofeedback specialist.  The use of Z scores for biofeedback reduces the complexity of biofeedback of voltages and ratios and coherence, etc. to a single metric, the metric of a Z Score (i.e., Z = (mean-subject)/st. dev).  No longer wonder if coherence should increase or decrease or phase delay should shorten or lengthen or absolute power should increase or decrease for a given scalp location or a given age.

The Z Score biofeedback program is released by DeyMed, Inc., Brainmaster, Inc., Thought Technology, Ltd., Advanced Brain Monitoring and Mind Media, Inc (NeXus), NeuroField.  Each company uses their respective hardware and software environments to implement the Z Score program dynamic link library for purposes of biofeedback.   Please contact the individual companies to read documentation about exactly how they implemented the program and exactly how it works inside of their individual and well tested biofeedback environments.  A permanent 1st license and a renewable 2nd license will be issued only with the 1st purchase of the Z Score dll by the same single user.   A renewable 2nd license will not be issued for additional purchases of the Z Score dll by the same single user.
