Using the Open Display Screens (Our Preference)
You can do a 1 Hz bin assessment using the Open Display screens:
PI MT 1EEG Physio-1Hz bins.chs
PI MT 1EEG Physio-2Hz bins.chs
At the ADD Centre we also use PI MT 1EEG-Physio-HRV FB.chs channel set for
repeated assessments to gage progress. The assessment screen is always one of the 5
screens that we choose for a feedback session. It serves a number of purposes. We can
save the data for future artifacting and, from time to time during a session, ensure that we
have a good EEG being recorded. In addition, we can remind the client of how their EEG
pattern reflects their mental state and the difficulties that they are trying to overcome.
This is a reminder of their clinical or educational goals and what they want to accomplish
in terms of changing their mental state and, thereby, the observed EEG. We remind them
that the EEG is nothing more than a flag. A flag that reflects what their brain is doing at
any instant in time. A flag that is a tool for them to use as a guide to help them practice
sustaining mental states that will optimize their own performance.
A single monitor and a dual monitor example of the 1 channel assessment screen are
