I'm new to the group and will be taking the first levels of training the end of January. Pete responded to my inquiry about a new Mac/Intel laptop with caution. Is anyone out there actually using a Mac with BioExplorer? Have you run into any problems? So far I'm getting the idea that I'm better off starting with a PC for support purposes etc. I'd appreciate any actual hands on experience to help me make my decision. I'm a Mac user from the get-go, and would love to stay that way if it seems feasible and workable. Thanks, Bonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Bonny, There is at least one person who has posted on the BioExplorer list about using a MacBook Pro. He had a problem getting one of the drivers to install properly but after resolving that issue he reported that it ran well. If you ask this question on the BE list he may see it and respond, You can not use Parallels Software or the new VM software for this, They run windows alongside the Mac OS so they run a bit slower and have had problems with recognizing drivers. The solution is to download Boot Camp from the Apple website, The boot camp software allows you to install Windows XP service pack 2 onto a separate space on the hard drive, Once you install windows, there is a command key to hold down at startup. You are given the choice of starting up with the Mac OS or with Windows, when started up with Windows this way you have the equivalent of windows PC. All reports I have heard is that Windows applications run very well this way. If you really want a Mac and NFB is one of only a few things you would do in Windows then the Mac with BootCamp and Windows is most likely a good idea, If you have no preference for OS then you would have to decide if the extra set up and some bit of extra cost would be worth it to you., I am a die hard Mac user. My next purchase will be a MacBook Pro on which I plan to run BE. > >> >> Hello all, >> >> Please excuse me because somewhere this question has already been >> asked but I do not > have >> the answer. >> >> Can you use a Mac with a pendant and Bio Ex to train neurofeedback? >> >> Thanks in advance, >> >> >> PS--Happy Holidays! >> > > Hello everyone... > > I'm new to the group and will be taking the first levels of training > the end of January.
