animate only as fast as the individual's heart is beating.
Heart Rate 3D Spectrum displays: These displays show 25 individual frequency bins,
from .02 Hz to .5 Hz. They are broken up into four color bands. A spectral display shows
frequency distribution in relation to time and a particular variable. Each color gradient
represents a frequency bin that is .02 Hz wide. The entire display is updated after each
heartbeat. The heart rate 3D spectrum display will animate only as fast as the individual's
heart is beating. You can control how much space is between each "slice" by going to the F4
menu and looking under 3D Spectrum Spacing, Heart Rate.
Note: It takes 40 seconds of valid PPG data to collect enough heart beats to create meaningful heart
rate spectrum data/displays. We recommend waiting at least this much time before starting to record
your session.
Regular and Superimposed Oscilloscope Graphs: The Bio Integrator includes a digital
oscilloscope for looking at raw EEG waveforms. We also include a superimposed
oscilloscopic display that shows left and right traces, but instead of one being above the
other, they are superimposed. This allows the clinician to study interesting variations in
the raw wave forms between one channel and another.
Spectral Histograms: Spectral histograms displays are a useful way to see EEG data
because each frequency bin is clearly represented by a moving bar. Real-time EEG data is
represented by fluid, smoothly animated and aesthetically engaging spectral histogram
displays. These displays represent four separate measures: power, percent power,
amplitude, and synchrony. A spectral display shows frequency distribution in relation to
time and a particular variable. Depending on the display, the frequency shown is either
from 3 Hz to 32 Hz or from 0 Hz to 42 Hz.. Each color gradient represents a frequency bin
that is .8 Hz wide. The entire display is updated 20 times per second (every 50ms), as is the
EEG analysis, allowing for the observation of both gross and subtle brainwave shifts.
When the program is used with two channels of EEG, it is possible to compare two
separate sites such as right and left brain activity and observe interesting and exciting
differences within individual clients and across clients.
EEG Spectral displays: Spectral displays are one of the most exciting features of the Bio
Integrator Plus: For the first time, clients and clinicians may watch and train with real-time
EEG data represented by fluid, smoothly animated and aesthetically engaging spectral
