IBVA Bluetooth Hardware

IBVA is portable neurofeedback system, wirefree as brainwaves are sent by Bluetooth to an Apple Mac computer. Very user-friendly and non invasive for recording your EEG, the IBVA unit can even be tucked into a shirt pocket. Simply attach the 3 pre-gelled electrodes to the forehead, and secure with the blue IBVA headband. Now you can connect 2 users brainwaves simultaneously to one Mac, for 4 channels of EEG interaction useful in client / therapist and energy work.

(more about the EEG from the forehead with IBVA here)

Maximum recording time depends on your sampling frequency, and the size of your Mac's hard drive. When recording a 120 Hz sample (like the original IBVA system,) an 8 hour recording possible. When making a 480Hz sample, then 2 hours recording is possible.
