Brain-Boy® Universal Professional (BUP)

The tests of the BUP (run in the so-called Norm test-Mode) are identical to those of the Brain Boy Universal so that results from the BUP can be directly compared with the standardized data once ascertained with the BBU.

So the therapist can check the childs progress with his BUP each week although the child is working with a BBU. Doing this the therapist always gets the percentile rank the child has reached in each of the eight functions. (There are different percentile rank lists available for children between 5 and 12 years)

These ranks were investigated during a standardization project by the Medical University of Hanover in 2001.

This way the BUP is a professional device working on the basis of scientifically standardized data that enables the therapist to get valid and true information when testing basic central functions. The BUP can be used for testing and training of the following functions:

• Visual threshold
• auditive threshold
• spatial hearing
• pitch discrimination
• visual-auditive coordination (finger-tapping)
• choice-reaction time
• frequency pattern recognition
• duration pattern recognition

The efficiency of the training of the functions listed above has been proved by a scientific study carried out by the Medical University of Hanover.

Apart from testing the BUP allows various ways of training. All features known from the OSA 3.1 (the device previous to the BUP) can also be found in the BUP as well � specially designed for each basic (low-level) function:

Show / do not show visual confirmation Volume-adjustment from 72 dB to 110 dB - Repetition of the last signal - Choice of signal-mode : click or noise-burst

There are a lot more features in the BUP:

• logarithmic approximation (finding the approximate order threshold with max. 40 signals)
• successive approximation (quick estimation of the current order threshold avoiding effects of fatigue)
• randomized order (randomized intervals between user-defined maximum and minimum)

The handling is very comfortable. Most tests can be done by using only two big push-buttons. The shipping includes two external buttons � they consist of wooden balls with built-in buttons.

The BUP can not only measure basic functions but can store all data of patients and tests on a compact-flash card. All data that were recorded during the day can be transferred to the PC-software MediTOOLs later without any problems.

The �Quick-Update� is another very special feature of the BUP: In case there is an update of the BUP-software, you are now able to do it yourself. You will get the programme by mail which you can copy on the flash-card yourself.

When you put the flash-card back into your BUP the internal software will be updated automatically.

So you need not send us your BUP anymore when there is a software-update.

The interface between the BUP and the MediTOOLs-Software has been enhanced: You are now able - for example � to design training-items with your computer and copy them to the BUP to have them available there.
