NeuroGuide for BrainMaster Mini-Q

 

            NeuroGuide for BrainMaster now provides for the import of the new Mini-Q which is a series of 2 channel EEG

recordings that are successively measured and then concatenated into a single edit screen.   Measures of reliability are

displayed on the left hand side of the screen and the dynamic FFT and automatic editing features work as they do with

simultaneously measured EEG.   The Report Generate Spectral analyses only operate for each pair of two channels of

simultaneously measured EEG for coherence, phase, amplitude asymmetry and all power spectral analyses.   There are

no cross-spectral measures because of an absence of simultaneity of measurement, except for two channels at a time.  

The user of the Mini-Q must always be aware that only a piecewise and spliced together editing display is provided by

NeuroGuide in order to not mislead users into mistakenly thinking that simultaneous measures were analyzed, except

for the respective pairs of  channels.   Here are some example screen captures of NeuroGuide’s Mini-Q analysis:

 

1:    Navigate to the location where the Mini-Q EEG data is stored then the following channel

select window appears, select and then click Load.

 

 

2 -  After selecting the Mini-Q File the following Window Appears.  Select the correct

channel label and click O.K.

 

 

3 –  Keep Opening Mini-Q Files from the same subject until all two channel recordings are selected

 

 

 

 

 

4 - MINI-Q Dynamic FFT Normative Editing Window.  Follow the steps 1 to 3 in the NeuroGuide manual

to fill out the subject information window with the subject’s age, then scale and automatically eliminate artifact

and then open the Dynamic FFT Normative display

 

 

 

 

5 – Click View>Filters in order to activate the band pass and band stop filters

 

 

 

6- This is an example of the Alpha Filter Display of EEG.   The band pass and band stop filters have

no relevance to the analysis of the EEG, they are available for the user to view the EEG record in order

 to see when and where a particular frequency rhythm is present in the EEG record.

 

 

 

7 – Click Report>Generate Report and view the Analysis Output window using the page up,

page down, and arrow keys.   Example of the  Mini-Q Absolute Power Normative Analysis

 

 

 

8 -    Mini-Q Relative Power Normative Display

 

 

 

 

9 -  Mini-Q Ratios of Power Normative Display

 

 

 

10 -  Mini-Q Amplitude Asymmetry Normative Display

 

 

 

 

11 -  Mini-Q Coherence Normative Display

 

 

 

 

12 -  Mini-Q Phase Lag Normative Display
