IFEN Dimmer – Advanced Visual Neurofeedback Integration for BrainAvatar
The IFEN Dimmer is an advanced tool for visual neurofeedback integration within the BrainAvatar software, offering unique functionality not found elsewhere. It is launched via the IFEN Launcher and seamlessly operates in the background with existing neurofeedback protocols in BrainAvatar.
The core principle of the dimmer is to adjust screen brightness based on the fulfillment of neurofeedback criteria:
- Dark screen → Criteria are not met.
- Bright screen → Criteria are achieved.
Key Features and Customization Options
- Flexible Placement & Scaling: The dimmer window can be freely positioned and resized.
- Background & Video Compatibility: It can be applied over various backgrounds or even running videos.
- Multiple Display Modes:Vignette Mode: Creates a focused viewing area.
Framed Focus: Defines a customizable, variable-sized viewing section.
Isolated Focus: Displays a single image that grows or shrinks based on neurofeedback performance.
Dynamic Overlay: Darkens the background while keeping only the focus area visible.
- Shape Options: The dimmer can appear as an ellipse, star, or rectangle.
- Inverse Feedback: Adjusts reward criteria (e.g., the image appears or disappears as a reward).
Advanced Settings
- Dimming Speed: Adjustable for smoother or faster transitions.
- Maximum & Minimum Focus Sizes: Controls the visible area.
- Click-Through Function: Allows interaction with elements behind the dimmer window. This function is especially practical, enabling the user to work within any application without needing to close the dimmer.
With its highly adaptable settings and seamless integration, the IFEN Dimmer enhances neurofeedback training by providing a dynamic and immersive visual experience.
