The Vilistus Mind Mirror 6 software offers sophisticated features, innovative user controls, and advanced data analysis. The at-home self-training program helps new and seasoned meditators attain the four ideal brainwave patterns historically found in highly developed and spiritually conscious people.

Self-trainers simply hook up (watch a 3-minute video), select the pattern to be trained, press record, and relax  while the brain adjusts itself to win the provided musical rewards. These helpful cues enable the self-optimizing brain to access and condition the brainwave pattern being trained. 

With the help of written manuals and online videos, anyone can use the software's advanced data analysis tools to improve health and enliven the mind.

Besides affordability, portability, versatility, and ease of use, the Mind Mirror 6 stands head and shoulders above other (real) electroencephalographs because it:   

• operates in real-time, allowing you to match your brainwave patterns with your inner experiences from moment to moment
• displays 0.5 to 100Hz frequencies and their interrelationships across both sides of the brain
• "feeds back" a composite brainwave pattern, like a moving picture, showing your changing states of consciousness, which you can read like a visual language, adjust, and optimize.
• monitors and maps the hemispheric symmetry needed for mental clarity and mind expansion
  
• offers time-proven self-training protocols and the ability to self-design your own pattern
• integrates EEG, GSR, and BVP measurements for comparative data analysis
• includes a variety of neurofeedback training protocols for use by professional therapists
• offers an add-on Mind Mirror Features Pack with voice recording, brainwave coherence reports, HRV resonant frequency tuning, and more
• comes with comprehensive user manuals, instructional videos, almost 24/7 customer support (we have to sleep), free lifetime software updates, a two-year warranty on all hardware, and access to IAM's monthly webinars and periodic newsletter.

Classic and extended views. The classic Mind Mirror pattern (above left) consists of 14 frequency bars inclusive of 0.5-44 hertz, or cycles per second. This range can be extended with a keystroke command to either 64Hz or to 100Hz (above right). The display can be changed to any color or combination of colors or appear in an outline with or without the frequency bars.

The white numbers below the brainwave display show the amplitude, or power, of the frequencies. This attenuation setting is easily adjusted with a keystroke command or can auto-attenuate. The green surface electromyography (sEMG) bar below the microvoltage settings measures muscle tension in the head, neck, and shoulders to alert the user to frequency-distorting muscle artifact. Various data display windows are shown below.

The Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) sensors respectively monitor sweat gland and heart-rate activity for self-regulation of the body and mind. Using them with EEG  provides insights into the body-mind connection for quicker self-regulation of both. Clicking on data peaks or valleys in the GSR and BVP summary windows (above, at right) reveals the timing of events for correlation with Mind Mirror patterns.

The Vilistus GSR can be used alone for training physiology due to a table which correlates GSR readings to Mind Mirror patterns and the descent into meditation.

The BVP sensor maps pulse rate, heart-rate variability, and stress index. With the add-on Mind Mirror Features Pack, the BVP sensor and the software's Pacer identify the best HRV Resonant Frequency for the heart and breath. Resonant frequency breathing reduces stress, optimizes consciousness, and improves health.

Mind Mirror Summary. Pattern attainment statistics for 10 challenge levels (top left) correlate with the averaged summary brainwave pattern (top right). Clicking on the Summary Plot (bottom) identifies the exact time each pattern was attained. Self-trainers use the percentages or counts in the Training Summary to identify their training level for the next session. 

The Segmented Mind Mirror Summary option is a right-click feature allowing for summary brainwave patterns per segment, which are defined by the white event markers shown above. This enables the user to compare Mind Mirror Summary patterns. Note the pattern differences in the 0.5-44Hz graphs above, each of which shows a different state of consciousness.

Segment statistics are also available for the amplitude minimum, maximum, mean, variation, and standard deviation, and for the BVP's Heart Rate, HRV, and Stress Index.

The Mind Mirror 6 offers traditional and customized data analysis tools and summary windows. You can left-click in any summary amplitude window for beta, alpha, theta, delta and low, mid and upper gamma (or any specified frequency range)  to see changes and obtain the timing of events. Other important summary windows for EEG are Dominant Frequency, Signal Quality, and sEMG Artifact Amplitude. Shown below is a Gamma Amplitude summary window.

(Above) This left-brain Gamma Amplitude (35-45Hz) summary window shows the microvoltage scale in the left column and the time plot across the bottom. The Manual Trigger Button was used to set the blue vertical markers which identify different stages of the guided meditation. The red data line shows changes in gamma. Left-click for the precise timing of amplitude changes.

(Above) The left-brain Composite Display for the same session shows interrelated brainwave-amplitude data lines: from top to bottom, green alpha, blue theta, purple delta, yellow beta, and the lowest-amplitude low, mid and upper gamma frequencies. This overview shows that the meditator drifted into trance or sleep about three-fourths of the way through the session: note the increased purple delta and blue theta and the decreased fuchsia gamma at bottom. The green alpha increase during the last segment shows that he re-awakened from 33:32-37:39 minutes.

(Above) This right-brain Composite Display of a Brainwave Profile (assessment tool) shows when the meditator closed her eyes: green alpha doubled from 2.5 to 5 microvolts. Purple delta spiked at 23:48 minutes with an unconscious-mind insight that traveled up across the green alpha bridge into superconscious awareness: note the fuchsia gamma surge that lasted for the rest of the session. This integrated window pinpoints events for review in the Mind Mirror display.

The adjustable Brainscape Plot, with its frequency scale at bottom, shows brainwaves as they are: waves in a sea of energy and light. The diagram can be changed to any RGB color.

Keystroke commands increase or decrease the viewing range.

The Mind Mirror Features Pack, an optional add-on software application costing $200, includes five important components:

• Coherence Reports showing inter-hemispheric brainwave coherence in four different formats, including Hemispheric Balance, the COSPAR Plot, Correlation Coefficient, and Coherence Summary for each brainwave category;
• The Pattern Editor, which allows you to self-train brainwave patterns of your own design;
• Resonant Frequency Tuning with the BVP sensor for increasing heart coherence and heart-rate variability;
• The Emotional State (ES) Meter, derived from simultaneous use of a GSR and Temperature sensor, for monitoring client wakefulness and self-training a relaxed, attentive awareness;
• Voice Synchronization, which records verbal meditation guidance or notes into the session.

(Above) The Correlation Coefficient shows which of the 0.5 to 100Hz frequencies across the bottom of the window is coherent: coherence, meaning amplitude symmetry and possibly wave coupling, is shown at 0.8 and above (left column). These two Coefficients are for a healer and recipient. The Mind Mirror display showed the recipient (EEG 1-5) in neural resonance with the healer (EEG 2-6). Here we see their brainwave connection at 6-10Hz, the frequencies of low theta and alpha, where neuroplasticity occurs in the alpha sensory system and the long-term memory of the subconscious. The healer's gamma frequencies are more coherent than the recipient's.

The Coherence Summary shows the time plot at the bottom of the window and coherence in the left scale at 0.7 and above. This meditator's Mid Gamma frequencies (45-65Hz) steadily increased in coherence as he listened to gamma beat frequencies.

The greatest density of yellow dots in the adjustable COSPAR plot (Coherence Spectral Array) shows at a glance the frequencies with the highest coherence: 60Hz at 95% coherence here.

The Mind Mirror 6 software includes many other ways to view and analyze data recorded in real time and in post-session summary windows. These features and tools are intuitive and easy to use. Contact us to ask questions or to order your Mind Mirror 6.

The Mind Mirror 6 accommodates group brainwave trainings with a new level of affordability and ease. Previously, only a few Awakened Mind trainers with specialized equipment could hook up more than one person at a time. Today, the four instrument ports in the Vilistus digital sampling unit monitor up to four EEG sensors or a mix of EEG and physiology meters.

(Below) Four people are monitored simultaneously on one Vilistus encoder. Instrument windows include the 0.5 to 100Hz Mind Mirror display, Signal Check stoplights for sEMG, 60Hz and signal quality, titles for people's names, and the Run Timer. Other windows can be added and adjusted in the many ways explained here and on the User Controls page.

(Above) The red arrows in the left- and right-brain alpha-theta windows at center indicate whether or not the client's brainwaves are in compliance with the selected brainwave training ratios. The most commonly used neurofeedback protocols are programmed into the software and can be adjusted easily with the Quick Protocol feature. The Clinical Q, an add-on feature, is a mini-QEEG.

Neurofeedback therapists can substitute single-channel EEG sensors for the Mind Mirror's dual-channel EEG leads. Direct audio-visual feedback is available in the free Vilistus Pro software. Raw trace, vertical bars, and bar graph data windows are available for 2-45 Hz, Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta Amplitude, SMR, Alpha-Theta (meditation) and Theta-Beta (peak performance). 

Shown at top right is the Brain Mirror, which depicts the activities of individual frequency bars.
