Allowing Windows to Hibernate, Sleep or Standby while running Neurofeedback software can cause problems with your software and shoud be avoided.
If using a laptop, external power should always be used during a session to ensure there won't be any interuptions due to a battery depleting or power failure.
To adjust Standby, Hibernation and Sleep settings:
- Right click on your windows desktop and choose Properties
- Click on the Screen Save tab
- Click on the Power button
- Adjust turn monitor off setting to anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes.
- Adjust turn off hard disks setting to Never or at least 60 minutes.
If you have a laptop, you may want to set your mobile settings to more conservative settings, but we recommend you plug-in your laptop while performing a session.
