2, 4 & 19 Channel Instantaneous Z Score EEG Biofeedback

In 2004 Applied Neuroscience, Inc. invented 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 had existing scalp surface EEG Biofeedback products using raw EEG data. These companies wanted 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.

  • 2 Channel Z Score DLL ……………$895
  • 4 Channel Z Score DLL ………….. $995
  • 19 Channel Z Score DLL ………. $2,000

The companies today that are licensed to sell the surface EEG real-time Z scores inside of their neurofeedback software environments are:

Purchase of the ANI Z score real-time Z scores must be through these companies as licensed by ANI. Contact these companies directly to purchase.

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

  • EEG Biofeedback
  • ICU monitoring of the EEG for immediate feedback
  • Battlefield assessments of the EEG
  • Active task evaluations using instantaneous EEG analyses
  • Anesthesia monitoring using statistical evaluation of the EEG

This product is available for qualified software developers only.  For further details contact us at [email protected].

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), and 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 license will be issued once we receive the purchase order from one of the companies mention above. A 2nd ANI Biofeedback Z Score DLL license requires an additional purchase.

No License transfers from one single-user to a another person is permitted as per the US Copyright agreement agreed to when activating the DLL program.
