Once you press the "MultiMedia Player" button, the MMP software will start, and the Launch
Window control panel will disappear.

Demo mode and normal operation

The BrainMaster MMP software will now begin. If you do not have the optional license for the
BMrMMP software, it will immediately run a "Grand Canyon" flight simulation, as well as play a
"Cool & Funky" soundtrack. This animation and sound are provided as a free demonstration
capability. Basic animation training capabilities are provided in the demo mode, which will
provide an indication of how the system will work in your application. However, the animation
and sound files cannot be changed in the demo mode, nor can it be used to control a CD.
The system automatically checks the amplitude-based training protocol that you are using. The
animation will proceed when all training criteria are met, and the sound will be loudest when all
training criteria are met. So the trainee will experience animations that go slower or faster,
depending on how often they meet the training criteria. This provides extremely fast, moment-to-
moment (up to 30 frames per second) feedback.
In addition, the sound will smoothly become softer and louder, indicating the overall time that the
client is meeting the criteria. The sound amplitude changes have a "time constant" of
approximately 1 second, providing smooth yet responsive feedback. For example, if the trainee
falls "out of state" for more than 3 seconds, the sounds will die out entirely. On the other hand, if
the trainee maintains an overall average "points" rate of approximately 1 point per second, the
sounds will tend to be continuous, but changing in volume. This is a very intuitive, instructive
form of sound feedback that avoids the jarring effects of on/off modulation.
