Removing or Adjusting Rest Periods in EEGer

Feedback Displays in EEGer make use of a Rest Period which is stored separately than an individual Client ID's protocol. This Rest Period is configured on a game-by-game basis, and can be adjusted by the clinician using the Tailored Installed Games tool.

To adjust the Rest Period, follow the instructions below:

1. Navigate to Tools>Tailor Installed Games from the top toolbar of EEGer's main display.
2. Locate the feedback display (game) to adjust the Rest Period for - press Edit next to the game's name.
3. For EEGer's base feedback displays, locate option 5: Pause time in seconds between periods - by default, this will be set to a value of 10 seconds.
4. Adjust the value to the desired time (in seconds) that the Rest Period should last.
5. If desired, locate option 4: Run time in seconds for each period to adjust the length of each period (time between Rest Periods). By default, this value is set to 170 seconds.
6. Once finished press Replace selection with changes to override the existing game. This will allow the changes to apply to any Client ID that uses this game.
7. On the list of all games, press SAVE all games to return to EEGer's main screen.

Eliminating the Rest Period can be done by extending 4: Run time in seconds for each period to a value that is greater the run time set on the plan session screen for each stage. Provided EEGer is also set to pause when a stage is completed, this will prevent a rest period from occurring, as the game will never run long enough (without pausing) to reach the rest period. For example, if the plan session screen is configured to have a stage last for 180 seconds, tailoring 4: Run time in seconds for each period to a value of 200 will prevent EEGer from ever reaching this rest period.
