BIO INTEGRATOR A Computerized Psychophysiological Feedback and Monitoring System

Your Gateway To A New Frontier...

A Powerful Tool for
Clinicians and Clients.

It is designed to provide feedback tailored to the client's needs and learning style, while providing maximum ease and flexibility.

Dazzling feedback displays

Clients watch their physiological measures driving vivid, full-color mandalas, nature scenes and games.

Thousands of combinations of beautiful line, fillgraph, spectral and live 3D displays can be shown as full-screen two-per-screen or four-per-screen displays.

Mandalas, available in 180 brilliant patterns and variations, animate in real time as the client activates or relaxes the associated physiology

Extremely rich audio feedback

Audio feedback can be assigned to all measures with any of 60 voices, from calliope to violin. You may have up to four individual measures playing separate voices.

Twin monitor design shows clients continuous uninterrupted feedback while the clinician orchestrates the audio and visual feedback

The Bio Integrator helps the client concentrate on his or her feedback without distraction because the user interface the clinician operates for adjusting the feedback is on the second monitor. This capability allows the clinician to "conduct" the session while the client remains focused on the other monitor.

Powerful and graceful integration of EEG and body measures

The Bio Integrator offers the smoothest integration of EEG and body measures available today. In many systems, you get an over-emphasis on EEG at the expense of body measures, or vice versa. The Bio Integrator provides a very powerful and exciting mixture of EEG, EMG, Temp, Heart Rate, SCL, and Respiration for feedback and research.

The EEG measures are powerful and very flexible, allowing the clinician to choose among amplitude, power, percent power, and synchrony. Dazzling real-time, smooth-animation spectral and 3D displays allow for the observation of very subtle brain wave shifts. EEG as a measure is difficult to implement; BRI has spent a great deal of time and effort making sure that the Bio Integrator provides extraordinary data collection and feedback.

Professional color printing

High resolution professional color printouts are standard with the Bio Integrator. Printing is as simple as pressing a single key. You can print full-page, two-per-page, or four-per-page data displays, for single sessions and for multiple sessions with longitudinal review.

Design philosophy:

The Bio Integrator was designed over a 7-year period with the goal of creating a more powerful and effective biosystem that accelerates the client's learning process and is very easy and exciting to use.

Bio Research Institute

• User interface is totally separated from client's feedback screen - both clinicians and clients have their own displays.
• Dazzling full color displays, including mandalas, fractals and three-dimensional images.
• Breakthrough EEG feedback, available through a rich array of audio voices and visual displays, including real-time, ultra-smooth animation spectral displays.
• Full array of line graphs, fill graphs, and spectral displays available as full screen displays, two per screen or four per screen.
• CD quality, stereo audio feedback, with 60 voices and up to 4 simultaneous audio channels.
• 8 channels simultaneous capability, e.g., two channels EEG, two channels Temp, two channels EMG, EDA, and Heart Rate.
• Ultra high input impedance for EMG and EEGs, reducing the need for time-consuming hookups.

The user interface is always in front of the trainer - no more interrupting clients by pulling down a menu, no more memorizing keystrokes. On-screen help can be shown at all points in the program, often available in several levels.

Features

• 4 primary measures
  Amplitude
  Power Percent power
  Synchrony
• All 4 primary EEG measures are available in ultra-smooth animation spectral displays.
• 48 EEG variables available at all times.
• Spectral displays in amplitude power, percent power, and synchrony.
• Visual feedback tools include line graphs, fill graphs, spectral displays, oscilloscope games and mandalas.
• Real-time smooth animation 3D EEG displays for right and left brain activity.
• Using line graphs, you may watch simultaneously: theta left and right, alpha left and right, and beta left and right.
• Bandwidth filters can be changed in real time on the fly. This feature can be used in post-session also.
• Real time, smooth sweep, 2-channel digital oscilloscope

Active Sensors

• EEG and EMG sensors have a 1 million megOhm input impedance. This exciting characteristic helps prevent noise in the data due to less than ideal hookups. It can be challenging to get proper EEG hookups, but with these ultra-high input impedances, artifacts are greatly reduced.

• Thousands of line, fillgraph, and spectral combinations.
• 180 mandala variations and patterns animate in real time, available to all 60 variables. Beautiful spectral displays animating in real-time.
• Full screen, two-per-screen, or four-per-screen displays are available for line graphs, fill graphs, and EEG spectrals
• 60 variables are available for training and display.
• Up to 24 variables may be viewed simultaneously

8 channel high performance front ends, e.g.:

2 EEGs
2EMGs
Temp
SCL
Heart Rate
Respiration

Dynamic EMG and Muscle Scanning

• 4 channels of simultaneous EMG.
• Ultra-high input impedances allow proper muscle scanning

Data Management

• High power, very easy to use.
• Reviewing a client's session is just 3 keystrokes away.
• Longitudinal data review is just two keystrokes away.

Smoothing

• 0-15 steps of smoothing available to all 60 variables.

Printing

• High resolution professional color printouts are standard with the Bio Integrator.
• Printing is as simple as pressing a single key.
• Choose a full-page, two-per-page, or four-per-page data display.
• Print out a single session or multiple sessions with longitudinal review.

Help

• On-line context sensitive help available throughout the program.

Audio Characteristics

• Wave table synthesis sound.
• 60 voices to choose from.
• Up to 4 variables with separate voices may be singing simultaneously.
• Voices assignable to any of 56 different variables.
• Major and minor chords.
