NP2Rnd - Random Session Generator for Neuro-Programmer 2




DESCRIPTION

This program generates random sessions in XML format, which can be imported into Neuro-Programmer 2. The generated sessions use isochronic beats, and are audiostrobe-enabled. It is a Win32 console mode application, and should run on Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP/Vista.

INSTALLATION

1) Download NP2Rnd executable files zip archive.
2) Unzip the files into a directory, and run the program from a MS-DOS Prompt.

USAGE

Usage: NP2Rnd [options]
where options can be any mix of the following:
    --beatfreq:beatfreqmin:beatfreqmax (default: --beatfreq:9:41)
    --carrier:carriermin:carriermult -> carrier = carriermin + beatfreq * carriermult     (default: --carrier:40:2)
    --minutes:sessionlength (default: --minutes:30)
    --seglen:secondsmin:secondsmax (default: --seglen:1:5)

The output file is always called rnd.nps, and can be renamed prior to importing into NP2.

Import the file into NP2 via File->Import Session (.NPS File)...

EXAMPLES

NP2Rnd
-> use defaults. Generates a session that lasts 30 minutes. Each segment is of random length between 1-5 seconds. The beat frequency of each segment is randomly chosen between 9-41Hz, and the carrier frequency is 40 + 2*(beat frequency) Hz. This is equivalent to:
NP2Rnd --beatfreq:9:41 --carrier:40:2 --seglen:1:5 --minutes:30


NP2Rnd --beatfreq:9:22 --carrier:180:0 --seglen:10:15 --minutes:5
-> Total session length is 5 minutes. The beat frequency of each segment is randomly chosen between 9-22Hz, and the carrier frequency is fixed at 180Hz. The segments are of random length from 10-15 seconds.

If you want to change the name of the session that's displayed in NP2, open rnd.nps in a text editor, and change the text that's between the and tags.
