About Interactive Brainwave Visual Analyzer

The human forehead is the most developed part of the brain, it's shows personality. Like dolphins and cats, it's also called  "melon brain" and/or Third Eye. For example, to produce Alpha frequency (8 - 12 Hz) is easy to generate from the rear part of the brain, not easy to generate from the forehead. IBVA's very high quality amplifier & visualization technique can show Left & Right forehead brain wave activity changes very clearly in real time;  it can also show Left & Right brain wave phase
coherence for each frequency. Coherence does not depend on brain power. In case it shows coherence, then we can say that the Third Eye is open this time.

Left & Right brain usually work independently, so coherence will happen randomly. But for the person who trains well his or her Third Eye, they can show coherence more continuously. In that case, the Left and Right brain can make a more clear image in the mind and/or make a path way to the mind's hyper space time dimension.
Then mind & brain are connected to hyper space time dimension and/or to our world.

IBVA can visualize brain wave in real time 3 D mapping; it can  also control many media such as QuickTime Movie, Sampling Sound, MIDI sound, 3 D sound position, Sound Effect. It can send messages in real time to other machines as well, such as PC, Lighting System, Laser System, Animation System, 3 D computer
graphics System, MP 4 computer System, MAX System. We can use Left & Right and Coherence brain wave information for all of these purposes - new Biofeedback experience.

The IBVA system has three model. One channel system, Two channel system and Two channel & coherence system.
One channel system shows forehead brain wave activity.
Two channel system can show left & right hemisphere brainwave, or two people forehead brain wave in same time.

Two channel & coherence system use special modification version of transmitter, need to use PCI serial card, in case Mac doesn't has two serial port. Receiver out put is serial.  


EASY TO CONNECT

Putting on head band, sensor will catch brainwave, data will be sent from special transmitter by wireless. receiver need to be connected to your computer by cable.                
   
                                                          

receiver get charged by computer, connection LED very quickly. :

 

   1 ch head band with one channel transmitter



The transmitter has brain wave as sound output from mini jack. Two channel brain wave can record into stereo line input of camcorder, MD & other recording device.
In case use 4 truck sound camcorder then can record two channel brain wave and stereo sound.
No need to use computer for this recording operation.
Later, for play back two channel brain wave and video image in Mac is connect recording device's line output to receiver's Tape input & recording device's firewire connect to Mac firewire connector. To see video image in Mac need to use video application.

Added Open GL (most popular for 3D CG program interface)  to make FFT brainwave analysis results. This OpenGL FFT analysis can operate graph or light source in 3D by mouse operation. For this, not just seeing graph by upper front, you can see 3 D analysis graph  from main different positions. dismissable brainwaves cause of big signal, you can check from different position. OpenGLFFT analysis mode prepared 6 different type of display to effect eye sight.

OpenGL FFT display: Front. This screen shot shows Normal FFT display or Raw data display are showed in the back. this display shows, right and left brainwave data in 2ch, coherence in the back, relative coherence in front. You can see these images from 3D angles can control movie or sound, out put MIDI info, by switching in each frequency & amplitude.
