The Neuromaster system
The Neuromaster (Made in Germany) is a medical device according to MDR. Produced according to EN ISO 13485. The system can be used universally for biofeedback, neurofeedback and psychophysiological research.
The structure of the system is Completely modular, This means you can start small and add to your system as required. Whether training or research, the Neuromaster system offers the right solution for all users!
Properties and advantages
Bio- and neurofeedback
Biofeedback and neurofeedback are two methods that complement each other perfectly. Why choose? The Neuromaster offers the possibility of biofeedback and neurofeedback in one device!
If you are thinking of offering both methods (even if this is only in the future), you should definitely choose a system with both functions. This will save you money on another system and you won't have to go to the trouble of learning another software.
Flexible operating modes
The Neuromaster offers 3 different operating modes and therefore immense flexibility in use.
Use the system as a classic desktop device (with mains power), wirelessly via radio (with batteries) or save the data on an SD card in memory mode.
Each Neuromaster can be used in all 3 modes.
The system can be used either with batteries or mains power. Please note: With other products, you are usually forced to rely on rechargeable batteries, whereas here you can simply use your power socket.
Heart rate variability
The heart's reactions to the environment and mood - the variations in heart rhythm - form the basis of heart rate variability. This biofeedback modality has gained immense popularity in recent years.
The Neuromaster system gives you the opportunity to train the HRV of your clients and also to carry out a highly precise HRV analysis.
Versatile
The Neuromaster measures:
- EEG (neurofeedback)
- EMG (muscle tension)
- ECG (heart rate variability)
- Breathing
- Skin conductance
- Temperature
- Pulse
For many disorders, it is highly recommended to measure several parameters at the same time in order to understand the individual interplay of the values and to exert a targeted influence on them.
Simple software
The Neuromaster system software is characterised by its intuitive handling and ease of use. Even people who are not particularly enthusiastic about technology will find the software very easy to use. You can plug in the device and get started straight away.
The software performs various tasks itself, e.g. it automatically recognises which sensors are plugged in and how the device is currently supplied with power.
Training libraries
The so-called session libraries are a key component of the ease of use of our software. These are 14 sets created by experts (each set consists of many session templates), which can be started for specific indications with just one click. Each template also contains detailed instructions on the parameters, objectives and sequence of the session, including an explanation of how to place the electrodes in this case.
The session libraries guarantee maximum user comfort. Thanks to their ease of use, the libraries are also ideal for supporting assistants during treatment.
Create your own templates
Just because you can easily get started with our ready-made templates doesn't mean that the Neuromaster system limits your flexibility. You can also easily create your own sessions according to your personal script.
There are virtually no limits to your freedom here. You can not only use our extensive set of multimedia files, but also your own or those of clients (e.g. holiday videos).
Creation is simple and intuitive via drag & drop. Simply drag the desired element into the window in which you want it to appear.
Service
Another important point is the service that is offered in addition to pure system sales. Insight Instruments supports you here with training courses, tutorials, certified biofeedback training, marketing documents and much more.
Our goal is the success of our customers!
Overview of the sensors
The centrepiece of our system is the Neuromaster, a multimodal biofeedback and neurofeedback device with 3 operating modes (wireless operation, stationary via power supply unit, mobile 24-hour measurement).
The Neuromaster includes the Neuromodule sensors. Six different sensors record up to 28 parameters. The sensors were developed in such a way that measurement artefacts caused by cable movement are almost completely eliminated!
Multi-sensor (skin conductance, pulse and temperature)
Skin conductance and temperature are used intensively in biofeedback for relaxation, migraine prophylaxis, epilepsy and much more. The pulse can be used for basic HRV training.
ECG sensor (heart rate variability)
In general, the ECG sensor is characterised by its almost artefact-free recording and high level of comfort in use - a must for HRV professionals!
Vaso sensor (migraine)
The aim of vasoconstriction training in biofeedback is to practise this control to such an extent that the technique can then be used to stop an incipient seizure.
EMG sensor (muscle tension)
Up to 6 EMG channels can be recorded simultaneously.
Breath sensor
Breath depth, breath amplitude and breathing curve are recorded, with the aim usually being deep and relaxed abdominal breathing.
Together with the other sensors, there are also new exciting combination possibilities, such as controlling the muscle tension in the shoulders while taking deep breaths.
The Neuromaster system is the only provider to use a non-contact infrared sensor. It is therefore not necessary to wear a belt (no constricting feeling).
EEG sensor (neurofeedback)
The sensor records delta, theta, alpha, beta and ratios as part of the frequency band training.
Session libraries
Biofeedback and neurofeedback have been around for decades and studies on their effectiveness have been available for almost as long. Unfortunately, the method had some teething problems, as the early variants were very complex.
Insight Instruments set out in 1990 to change that - to make biofeedback and neurofeedback usable in all their complexity, but not to put the complexity into the application.
There are few concepts that demonstrate this claim more than the session libraries. These are sets of session templates that can be started with just one click. You also receive detailed instructions and further information for each session. This means that anyone can quickly and easily start working with biofeedback and neurofeedback.
You can also easily create your own sessions with our drag & drop builder.
Available session libraries:
Breathing training
Heart rate variability
The Heart rate variability has developed from an insider tip to one of the most important methods in recent years. This library offers many templates for analysing and training this so-called HRV.
Sleep training
Analysis
Muscle building
Muscle tension is strengthened in muscle building biofeedback. The aim for the client is to trace certain patterns with muscle activity. This approach is often used in biofeedback for rehabilitation, incontinence, but also for training self-awareness.

Experiences of our customers
Dr Christine Schottdorf-Timm
„Our test subjects/clients accept the biofeedback method very well. They discover inner freedom and personal resources for dealing with acute and chronic stress and learn to use them consciously and independently.“
Dipl. Psych. Andreas Kruse
„Our positive experience with the software and hardware from Insight Instruments prompted us to purchase a second device in summer 2013 in order to expand our treatment programme for pain patients.“
Diana Sicher-Fritsch
„Usually, some kind of relaxation technique is recommended in stress prevention. With the biofeedback device, we immediately recognise which relaxation technique is the most effective for individual stress.

Combine biofeedback, neurofeedback and virtual reality
Confrontation training with virtual reality
VR Coach® smart system
The therapists provide support during these virtual confrontations. The confrontation can also be gradually increased in the therapist software on the desktop. This applies, for example, to the size or number of spiders or the reactions of the audience. In all scenarios, there is something that therapists can control.
With the Neuromaster, the stress reactions during confrontation and relaxation are recorded and visualised for the therapist.
You can easily install the Biolife software on the smart system. As a therapist, you can use it to observe how the subject's stress level changes during the confrontation in VR.
Advantages
- Accurate identification of stress-inducing and relaxing scenes/parts of the confrontation
- Markers set precisely in the VR software are synchronised directly with Biolife.
- Targeted therapeutic intervention
