Manuals			Using the sensor with the Wi-microSystem not only ensures electrically safe operation (see disclaimer below) but also enables you to use the sensor without being tethered to your computer or MIDI device. User guide Demo video The sensor includes a notch filter to reduce power grid noise (50 or 60 Hz). Note that the sensor is shipped with this power grid notch filter set to 50 Hz. It can be changed if necessary to 60 Hz by cutting the blue jumper wire on the side of the board inside the neoprene band.
Software			The following standalone software can be modified with the Max development environment: Max v5: Biosensor patches v1.3 Max v4: BioBeat patch v1.1 (runtime version of this patch, using Bluetooth serial port) You can also use the Biosensors with the EyesWeb plugin.
