$3,195.00 $1,995.00
Accessories in Basic Price Package: 2 EEG/EMG/EKG sensors 1 Temp/EDR Combo
Applications in Basic Price Package: Basic EMG/ECG HRV + Temp, Resp, EDR. 12 ch has all 6 ch applications plus 4 EMG / 4 EEG
BOTTOM LINE? Cost of J&J if included J&J Bundled Sensors [2 EMG + [Temp + SC] Sensors] were Added to Basic Sensor Price:
$3,420.00 $2,220.00 - no
J&J is only multi-sensor system that can run other software from BioExplorer, BioEra, Labview, Basic and C++.
J&J -vs- Nexus :
Compare Equivalent Packages:
Two Models From Mind Media B.V. Netherlands
Nexus-10 & Nexus-4
Listed Basic Price (See Price Comparison sheet for Total Cost Price): Does not Include any sensors.
$4,395.00 $3,195.00
Sensors are not included with the system and must be purchased separately.
Comes with HRV analysis, statistics, HRV training screens and HRV printed report
BOTTOM LINE? Cost of Nexus if 2 EMG + Temp + SC Sensors were Added to Basic Sensor Price:
$6,415.00 $4,665.00
COMMENT: A quality European-serviced machine. Demands recharging of external batteries- can fail if discharged. Nice wireless, if you need it. Quality but expensive sensor sets.
Software is propriatory and very flexible- make your own. Nexus will not run on BioExplorer or any other software platform.
J&J -vs- Thought Technology :
Compare Equivalent Packages:
Four Models From Thought Technology Limited, Canada
FlexComp Infiniti 10 channel , ProComp Infiniti 8-Channel , ProComp Infiniti 5-Channel , ProComp2 2-Channel
Listed Basic Price (See Price Comparison sheet for Total Cost Price): Does not Include any sensors.
$5,450.00 $3,475.00 $2,995.00 $1,750.00
Sensors are not included with the system and must be purchased separately.
BOTTOM LINE? Cost of Thought Technology if 2 EMG + Temp + SC Sensors were Added to Basic Sensor Price:
$7,385.00 $5,410.00 $4,965.00 $3,185.00
COMMENT: Large customer base, huge customer service force (about 50 employees in 2009).
Instruments range from many to few channels - Infiniti 10 is only 10-channel full spectral EMG instrument in filed right now.
Sensors are expensive. External amplifiers in some models.
Like Nexus, the systems run on proprietary Thought Technology software only. Software Suites available at extra charge.
Thought Technology will not run on BioExplorer or any other software platform.
NEUROFEEDBACK PRICE COMPARISONS:
How J&J compares to BrainMaster and other 'neurofeedback' instruments.
COMMENT: BrainMaster is an EEG-focused instrument.
If all you want is EEG, check them out. There base prices range form about $1000 to $2000 for instruments.
Sensor prices add additional costs.
Add-on software packages are required to take full advantage of their system.
Also search for other neurofeedback instruments sold by in-house 'neurofeedback training institute.'
J&J does not consider these Neurofeedback-focussed systems as direct competitors because they market as neurofeedback instruments.
Many of our customers take courses in neurofeedback training and use our protocol generator to make EEG protocols taught at these seminars.
SmartBrain by Brain Train [see products] runs on J&J hardware -. Requires about $1500 to purchase basic SmartBrain.

Our Sales and Customer Service Representatives receive scores of inquires from potential customers who only want a cost-comparison with our major world-wide competitors. We have added this brief comparison for them. The major price difference is in total cost - not basic price. Add up all the sensors, software suites, supplies and - if needed, batteries. Most customers are pleasantly surprised by J&J- we maintain a reasonable price close to our base price.
