Below is the history of all updates for 3.0
TO UPDATE 3.4 OR LATER, GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
3.2.1 Software 1-9-08 with MINI-Q II Session Wizard files corrected, MMP issue resolved, and "very large files" resolved. 1-9-08 Update also has DVD player enhanced minimum brightness control, and new flash games: "BrainPlanets," "Robot Proportional," and "Geranium Proportional"
3.2.0 Software 11-15-07 with known 3.1 bugs fixed, Support for MINI-Q II, Percent Z OK New fixed and Cricket and Bugrun working and frequency bands issue (e.g. 0-0.3) fixed.
Included are a new "Session Wizard" that allows you to program complex session sequences complete with prompts, preprogrammed electrode locations, and support of the new Atlantis 2 or 4 channel MINI-Q II. All MINI-Q users will need to read in the new MINI-Q settings from the new settings files provided. This is important. Do not experiment with this version if you have important MINI-Q sessions to conduct.
This version also has improved file export and playback capabilities.
There is also a new "Session Genie" that can push files across a network or internet resource, and manage an entire clinical via. a server. There are also improvements to Z Score training, with many new functions for training all amplitudes, coherences, phases, asymmetries, etc. for up to 4 channels. There are also "lopsided" windowing functions, so you can train preferentially up or down in z scores. See the data dictionary for details. There is also the ability to train two people at once, both for couples synchrony, and for competitive games, with either 2 or 4 channels. There is also a new DVD player with a "minimum brightness" control. Please only use this for investigational use. This is the p0st-ISNR pre-release of 3.1.0, which will be revised further this month, and re-posted at the end of September. This release also includes some new DLL's which pose the inevitable risk. Documentation for the Session Wizard and the Session Genie are forthcoming. If you do not have a strong interest or need for the new features described, you should wait until the end of September to evaluate the 3.1.0 Update

The 3.0 software includes all of the features of 2.5SE, plus the following:
as of 7-10-07 (3.0.9)
Improvements to refractory period and sustained reward criterion in Event Wizard
Improvements to control MMP via. Event Wizard so inhibits work
Updated Beta Coherence Range Training demo using animations and DVD
Improved z score protocols with points awarded, DVD and games working
Compressed 4-channel z score panel, so it fits within 1K pixels
Built-in MINI-Q setups for New Mind (R. Soutar) and Q-Metrx (L. Sherlin)
Ability to train HEG (nIR or pIR) or TEMP using Event Wizard
HEG/TEMP uses simulation mode, and can play back HEG/TEMP files
Ability to award points (2 counters provided!) via. Event Wizard
Ability to play the reward sound (wav sound) via. Event Wizard
as of 5-7-07 (3.0.8)
Full Vista Compatibility. Scroll bar responds to PgUp and PgDn keys. Further enhancements to Event Wizard including points counters (for 1 or 2 players!), sustained reward criterion and refractory period, updated MMP and DVD Players with single-frame ability and pause/unpause for DVD's. See the documentation on connectivity training using sustained reward criterion and refractory period HERE,
as of 4-10-07 (3.0.7)
Addition of a Scroll Bar to the main training screen area. This allows you to set up enormous screen layouts, and scroll up and down to see all the panels. Very helpful with 4-channel and Z-Score designs. (4 channel z scores should show correctly in this release)
Training Screen now "remembers" its size and location for each folder. When you press "GO" and the system starts up, it will automatically move and resize to the same location and size that was last used for that session. This can be overridden or changed at any time by resizing and moving the Training screen to suit your needs.
Four channels added to Event Wizard menu pulldown channel selections.
Added built-in settings file "Z Score Combined 4-chan Amplitude & Coherence"
Improved Flash Games so moving to next level is more fun with BrainCells, and less jarring with BrainMan
Adjusted high frequency gain for FFT and percent energy calculation to avoid overemphasizing high beta when software filters are not used.
Fixed bug that caused 2.5 Flash Games to not respond in certain setups after they were updated for 3.90
Update HEG designs for 3.0
Update of John Demos' DCN128 with norms for children as well as adults.
Ability to use z scores with 1, 2, or 4 channels (was just 2 or 4)
as of 2-9-07 (3.0.6)
Extended low frequency filter range is now under a button on the Atlantis Hardware Control panel.
This allows further extension of low-frequency range below 0.5 Hz.
as of 2-4-07 (3.0.5)
Ability to set scale and range for Event Wizard Trend Graphs
Built-in folders and settings files redesigned for new features
Bug fix: Fixed bug causing errors with some 4-channel Z Score Setups

Ability to train 4 channels with the Z Score DLL
Ability to view 4-channel graphs of EEG data with BReview
New function "PercentZOK()" for use with Z Score training
NOTE: If you are using the Z DLL, you will need a new "B Key" from Applied Neuroscience when you first run Z Score Training. If you have a 4x4, be sure to use 4 channels of EEG when getting your new A Key to send to ANI. Do not install this version until you know you will have time to get a new "B Key" from ANI.

In addition, there are improvements to onscreen waveform displays to include average amplitude, current threshold, and percent time over threshold.
For details on these new parameters and their use, see: The Sweet Spot Suite
as of 9-1-2006 (3.0.1):
The MMP and BMrDVD player now respond to the Event Wizard events that have "Control MMP Player" selected. This means you can control animations, sound, and DVD's using Event Wizard controls such as coherence, frequency, percent energy, Z scores, and more! Event Wizard MMP/DVD controls can be used in addition to, or separate from, the existing amplitude-based controls.
as of 8-28-06 (3.0.0):

3.2.2 April 9 Update (All Known Bugs Fixed)
3.2.2 May 22 Update
with new DLL "emulation" mode to use Somatic Vision Games (Inner Tube, Particle Editor, etc.) with Event Wizard for Multiple Inhibits, HEG, Z-score, coherence training.
