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:
-
EEG Biofeedback
-
ICU monitoring of the EEG
for immediate feedback
-
Battle field assessments
of the EEG
-
Active task evaluations
using instantaneous EEG analyses
-
Anesthesia monitoring
using statistical evaluation of the EEG
-
etc.

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.
