"Audio Machine" (by Andrew Moya, January 2005) It's me again, Andrew Moya. I've taken another step forward with the original design. Instead of using the Parallel Port, I've designed a stand alone unit that can be used without a computer. Using a LM567 Tone Decoder and a suitable audio input from a CD you can experience the same extreme meditation. I was driven to make such a device when I discovered that BrainStar2 ("BRAINSTAR STILL EXCELLENT!!") was not capable of producing sound with XP. Maybe it can, but I couldn't get it to work. I used sounds from Brain Wave Generator to enhance my experience. Without HackCanada.com I would have never discovered this wonderful world of BIOFEEDBACK. Thanks HACKCANADA!!! If anyone has any questions about where to order parts, my Email is Mo42oya_420@yahoo.com. Estimated TOTAL Cost was USD$50.00. That's with extra parts. Update: 2005/01/20 This is the completed project. I purchased a Project Encloser from Radio Shack to house the unit. A few tips if trying to duplicate. In the Circuit Diagram you must Double Every component EXCEPT: the Battery and Voltage Regluator. A good place for Parts is MOUSER.com They have all parts needed. GOOD LUCK. Feel Free to Email Me with feedback or anything you might need help on. A TWO Thumbs Up to CYB0RG/ASM. Also Follow up on BRAINSTAR2... A DOS Emulator can be used if you have problems with DOS based programs DOSBOX - There is a SOUND Emulator also that can be found with DOSBOX. These two programs will solve issues with Windows XP.
