Hmmm, I didn't know that. I thought Rob had removed
all references, to Roshi, from his site.

The AVS stuff is build into the EEG unit, and can
operate _on top of_ any NFB software. $1995

It just means that the EEG is used to set the
photo or mag stim parameters. It acts as sort
of a neuro-mantra. Kinda like feeding the brain
back on itself, to garner its own attention.
Until the patents happen, I can't say anymore.

All of the above happen, /automatically/ ;)

There are no `real' adjustments, on the standalone
unit; just LED/MagStim intensity adjustments. Your
personal EEG context sets its feedback parameters.

Don't have time for loads of questions. I prefer lurking ;)

What's to explain, here?
