Overview:

For biofeedback equipment that does not provide a logic output, the CogniVideo device will detect sound or silence from your Biofeedback System from the audio output (speaker) jack.

Step 1: Test Audio Output

Plug a speaker or headphone into the speaker or headphone output of the Biofeedback System PC, or use the integrated speakers, if present.

Test that you can get SOUND during intervals when you want the DVD to play, and silence when you want it to PAUSE.

Step 2: Connect CogniVideo

Unplug the speaker or headphones you used in Step 1 and Plug the supplied 3.5mm "Audio Dubbing" Cable to that same jack. Plug the other end of the Control Cable to the CogniVideo device, at the Audio-In/Digital-In connector.

Step 3: Activate Audio Mode

Using the BioMedia Application, set the Input Mode to Sound/Silence Detection and then click Save Settings.

Step 4: Test CogniVideo Response

Click PLAY - STOP - PLAY - STOP on Microsoft Media Player or RealNetworks RealPlayer and verify that the Audio Detect Indicator matches the state of the sound.

Step 5: Test System Response

You may want to test your biofeedback software to make sure you get the same results when you go over or under the threshold.

Notes:

Dynamic Threshold:

You will want to set up your Biofeedback software so that it uses a dynamic threshold, and set it so that your subject is 85% to 90% successful.

No Windowing:

It is best with the CogniVideo device if you use No Windowing in your Biofeedback software and allow the CogniVideo device to perform the windowing function. Therefore, we should receive sound whenever the subject is doing the "right" thing and silence when not.
