Custom-designed by and for the Mind Mirror community, the software's user controls provide quick functionality and penetrating data analysis. Self-trainers, professional Awakened Mind
trainers, and researchers use these functions with confidence and ease.
These can fill the screen or be positioned in any size on the computer monitor. Instrument choices include the Mind Mirror, the single-frequency, dual-hemisphere Brain Mirror, and a wide
array of EEG, GSR and BVP data windows. Time series data windows for left and right-brain EEG measurements include sEMG Artifact Amplitude, numerical signal quality, Title for notating a name or
brief session notes, and several useful accessories: a large timer clock, run reward counter for self-training, countdown timer, in-session statistics, and breath pacer. A signal check
stoplight for each brain hemisphere continuously monitors signal quality, sEMG artifact, and ambient 60Hz noise.
These are used for recording and summary review. In addition to the Mind Mirror display, they include low, mid and upper Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta Amplitude windows, and Dominant
Frequency for tracking the descent and ascent of awareness. Neurofeedback windows include alpha-theta, theta-beta, and more.
Keystroke commands quickly adjust the various instrument windows during recording and post-session analysis. User controls, also located in the right-click Mind Mirror menu, include self-training
mode, auto-attenuation, gamma display, screen snapshot, color schemes, display type (bars, outline, or fill), and refresh rate controlling the display speed. The amplitude (width) of the
frequency bars, measured in microvolts, may be adjusted (attenuated) quickly and easily with the up and down arrow keys on the computer keyboard, or auto-attenuation may be used.
Event markers are set during the session to enable the user to precisely correlate inner experiences with recorded data. Pressing the space bar, the Enter key, or the optional Manual Trigger
Button sets event markers without interrupting the data stream. Markers can also be created in summary windows to mark notable events. The precise timing of events is obtained with a second
timer clock.
This is an innovative and highly useful tool for analyzing the session, providing an average, or mean, brainwave pattern, a statistical column chart showing pattern attainment scores, and a
Summary Plot showing when the various brainwave patterns were attained. The Mind Mirror Summary can also be obtained for segments of the session bracketed by event markers.
This provides a static, rolling average of the brainwave pattern during the session for selected increments of time: 1, 2 and 5 minutes or the entire session.
Frame by frame replay can be activated with the left and right arrow keys on the computer keyboard. This enables the study of brainwave patterns one frame at a time. Changing the refresh
rate to a higher speed in replay reveals patterns recorded but invisible at slower speeds.
The slider bar scrolls recorded Mind Mirror patterns backward and forward in time, moving with it all other time series windows.
The second timer clock is activated by clicking on any point in a summary window and, therefore, provides great precision in data analysis.
The slider bar is then used to scroll to the brainwave pattern, or the user can set event markers in the summary window and jump from one marker to the next with the "J" keystroke to see related
brainwave patterns.
Red trend lines trace a cumulative moving average of the data in summary windows for EEG, GSR and BVP. The summary window display also includes these options: change the data range, hide the
data, remove artifact, and change the summary window to a black-on-white color scheme to save ink when printed out.
