We are happy to announce the release of Brainsight 2.5.

Before proceeding with this update, please read the following important information.

Minimum requirements:

• macOS 10.13 High Sierra is now the minimum requirement, increased from macOS 10.11 El Capitan in Brainsight 2.4. For a free update, visit <https://support.apple.com/macos/upgrade>. Contact us if you need to upgrade your Mac hardware.
• This version of Brainsight was tested against macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 10.14.6 (Mojave), 10.15.7 (Catalina), 11.7.4 (Big Sur), 12.6.3 (Monterey), and 13.2 (Ventura).
• Mac OS X 10.12 (Sierra) and earlier are unsupported.

Important Compatibility Note:

• The project file format has changed. Brainsight 2.5 can open documents created by older versions of Brainsight, but older versions of Brainsight cannot open documents created by Brainsight 2.5.

Changes since version 2.4.11:

• Brainsight can now simulate the induced electric field due to a TMS stimulation at a target location. It does this by interacting with SimNIBS, a third party software that must also be installed. The Targets window now allows associating a TMS coil model and stimulation strength with each target. The resulting simulation appears overlaid in 2D and 3D images, and can be customized from the Inspector window.
• 3D reconstructions (like the skin reconstruction) are now coloured by blending any enabled overlays atop the reconstruction’s own colour.
• Overlays now support time series data (though only from NIfTI and MINC2 files, not other formats). The Overlays window and Inspector window now have a new slider to choose the time offset.
• Very large datasets (with more than 2^31 voxels) can now be used.
• Made various accuracy improvements to Vet Robot stereo calibration and subject registration, resulting in more accurate targeting during surgery.
• In the Session Perform window, creating new samples is now disallowed if the relevant Polaris tools are not visible.
• In the Session Perform window, the ‘stream to file’ feature now includes EMG waveform data and the coordinate system for selected targets and created samples.
• In the Session Perform window, the ‘Sample Now’ button is now disabled if the required tools are not visible to the Polaris camera.
• When working with the Axilum robot/cobot, a new ‘scalp offset’ distance can be specified to keep the TMS coil a few millimetres above the scalp to account for the thickness of an EEG cap for example.
• EMG waveform views now visually indicate when a waveform has exceeded the EMG pod device’s maximum range of 2.25 mV.
• Added support for the Cornell University (Johnson, Philippa J; Barry, Erica F) canine atlas.
• Fixed various bugs with some DICOM datasets, where images would appear split in half, have gaps, or have missing slices.
• Fixed a longstanding bug where reconstructions based on ROIs would claim that re-computation was necessary, even though the ROI hadn’t changed. (This was partly fixed in 2.4, but still occurred for re-opened projects.)
• ROIs can now be created by importing from a medical image file (DICOM, NIfTI, MINC, etc.).
• Fixed a bug in the ROI window where the pencil and eraser tools would not work correctly at the edge of view, especially when moving the mouse quickly.
• NIRS waveforms can be imported from a .nirs file, thus allowing importing data from other manufacturers’ NIRS devices.
• Fixed a bug (introduced in Brainsight 2.4.11) where the SD.SrcPos and SD.SrcPos3D fields in exported .nirs files were swapped.
• Fixed a bug (introduced in Brainsight 2.4.5) where the SD.SrcPos field in exported .nirs files were in decimetres instead of centimetres. (The SD.SrcPos3D field was exported correctly in millimetres though.)
• Assembly Lists and Cap Layouts can now be created by importing from a .nirs file.
• Calibrating a TMS coil or other tool now allows for the tool tracker and calibration tracker to move together (relative to the camera), instead of failing if either tool moved relative to the camera.
• Polaris tool visibility status now uses a larger coloured area, making it more visible from father away.
• The enabled/disabled state of Polaris tools in the Polaris Configuration window are now remembered across quit/relaunch.
• Landmarks, targets, electrodes, and samples can now be clicked in 3D image views to select the corresponding item in the related table view.
• Targets can now be exported to a text file from the Targets window (export was previously possible, but only from the Session Review window).
• In the Targets window, if a reconstruction is chosen in the ‘optimize traj. to’ popup menu, clicking in 2D views no longer reorients crosshairs.
• Exporting curvilinear reconstructions in the PLY format now includes the voxel values in greyscale, whereas previously no colour was exported, only the shape.
• When exporting reconstructions as STL, VTK, and PLY you can now choose between the ASCII and binary variants of these file formats.
• When importing a reconstruction from file, the object can now be placed relative to a chosen target (useful for placing chambers for example).
• The crosshairs in 2D image views now have a small gap in the middle so as not to obscure the very thing being targeted.
• Wherever 4×4 matrices can be imported from a file, a new file format is now supported namely plain text files with 16 numbers within.
• The crosshairs offset slider now allows a large range.
• When opening a project file, if there are referenced external files (datasets, CAD files) that can’t be found, the dialog that asks to find them now (by default) disables files with different names, thus making it much easier to find the correct file.
• A new preference allows changing the colours of the bullseye views, especially useful for colour blind users.
• A new preference allows changing the font size of the bullseye views.
• A new preference allows specifying default EMG baseline and trial durations that will be used when creating new sessions.
• Native support for Apple Silicon processors.
• Improved support for macOS 11 Big Sur, macOS 12 Monterey, and macOS 13 Ventura.
• Various performance improvements:
  • Exporting DXF files is now much faster, especially for large reconstructions.
  • Updating an atlas space template overlay is now much faster.
  • Reorienting the anatomical dataset is now much faster.
  • Creating curvilinear reconstructions is now much faster.
  • Creating skin and other surface reconstructions is faster.
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Download:

• Brainsight 2.5 can be downloaded from our website here: <https://www.rogue-research.com/downloads>
• You might also need to download the latest “Support Files Human” and/or “Support Files Vet” if you have an older version. Brainsight will warn at launch if that’s the case.
• You’ll need your serial number, which you can get from Brainsight itself from the Brainsight menu > ‘Enter/View Serial Number’.

Important Compatibility Note:

• If you are already using the Brainsight 2.5 beta, don’t install this version. A new 2.5 beta is coming out shortly.

Changes since version 2.4.8:

• There is a new checkbox in the Session > IOBox step to indicate if you want to save or discard the live/full EMG waveform. It’s usually not necessary to save it, because samples contain a copy of the EMG waveform just before and after the TMS pulse, and as it can grow very large it slows performance, especially saving and opening project files.
• Resuming a session no longer overwrites any existing live/full EMG waveform, instead it now appends new data to the end.
• Fixed a bug where the EMG pod was sometimes not detected between closing and resuming sessions or when disconnecting and reconnecting its USB cable.
• Fixed a bug where exporting .nirs files would fail if the project did not contain any NIRS Aux data.
• When stopping an Axilum session, we now perform an extra movement to make sure the robot arm stays in the working space.
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Download:

• Brainsight 2.4.9 can be downloaded from our website here: <https://www.rogue-research.com/downloads>

We are happy to announce the release of Brainsight 2.4.7.

Before proceeding with this update, please read the following important information.

Minimum requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later is required. For a free update, visit <https://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/>. Contact us if you need to upgrade your Mac hardware.
• This version of Brainsight was tested against 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 10.14.6 (Mojave), 10.15.7 (Catalina), and 11.1 (Big Sur).
• Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and 10.12 (Sierra) are now only lightly tested.
• Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and earlier are unsupported.

Important Compatibility Note:

• If you are already using the Brainsight 2.5 beta, don’t install this version.

Changes since version 2.4.6:

• Added support for the new macOS 11 Big Sur, notably communication with Polaris cameras now works.
• Numerous changes to Axilum Robotics support:
  • A new feature in the Session Perform window now allows visiting a sequence of targets, pausing for a specified number of TMS pulses, with a specified duration between them, and then moving to the next target.
  • The “Align” buttons have changed behaviour in several notable ways: They now only act on the sole selected target. They no longer can be used for a folder of targets.
    • They now move in whatever path is necessary to ultimately reach the target and always descend the coil to contact the skin. (Previously, there were two behaviours: if the coil was already on the skin, they would only try to slide along the skin, and if the target was too far, no movement would result at all. If the coil was in orbit, they would align above the new target, but not descend to the skin.)
    • To signal this behaviour change, the buttons have been renamed from “Align” to “Move”.
    • The “Stop” button now moves the robot arm away from the subject’s head, if it was in contact.
  • Closing a session window now warns if you are connected to a robot, instead of just closing.
  • Added tooltips to most of the Axilum-related buttons, to help understand what they each do.
• Added a second kind of subject registration for Vet Robot sessions. Instead of using two landmarks and the laser grid, you can now use three or more landmarks for a classic rigid body registration. This requires being able to accurately locate such landmarks both on the anatomical scan and in the camera images.
• The Targets window now allows importing target names and coordinates from a text file.
• Fixed a bug where older documents sometimes failed to convert to the newest format with the message “crosshairs is a required value”.
• Fixed a bug where the “switch” input on the IOBox was triggering from high to low voltage instead of low to high voltage, resulting in presses of the foot switch being recognised upon releasing the pedal instead of upon depressing the pedal.
• Fixed a crash that could occur choosing some colours in the ROI window.
• Fixed a crash importing some SPM12 .mat files.
• Fixed a crash on macOS 10.14 and older that could occur if a TTL trigger was received while editing the peak-to-peak value in the Inspector > Motor Maps window.
• Fixed various bugs with macOS dark mode, where some things were drawn with incorrect or illegible colours.
• Fixed a bug where landmark/electrode names that contained two parts, like “LA43-LA44”, would only have the first half spoken.
• The Session Validation window now allows choosing the crosshairs shape, like most other steps in the Session window.
• Fixed an old bug where the first use of the Apple Remote after booting the Mac resulted in the first button press being reacted to twice.
• Fixed a bug where the Apple Remote up and down buttons did not work on macOS 10.13 and newer.
• Fixed a bug where the Apple Remote did not work at all on macOS 10.15 and newer.
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Download:

• Brainsight 2.4.7 can be downloaded from our website here: <https://www.rogue-research.com/downloads>
• You might also need to download “Support Files Human 1.5” and/or “Support Files Vet 1.3” if you have an older version. Brainsight will warn at launch if that’s the case.
• You’ll need your serial number, which you can get from Brainsight itself from the Brainsight menu > ‘Enter/View Serial Number’.

Minimum requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later is required. For a free update, visit <https://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/>. Contact us if you need to upgrade your Mac hardware.
• This version of Brainsight was tested against OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan), 10.12.6 (Sierra), 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 10.14.6 (Mojave), and 10.15.7 (Catalina).
• Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and earlier are unsupported.

Important Compatibility Note:

• If you are already using the Brainsight 2.5 beta, don’t install this version.
• macOS 11 Big Sur is coming out very soon, but do not upgrade your Mac yet, because Brainsight is not yet compatible with Big Sur.

Changes since version 2.4.5:

• The Vet Robot subject registration procedure no longer requires manually cropping the skull reconstruction, it is now done automatically.
• Vet Robot stereo calibration and subject registration calculations are now much faster.
• Judging the quality of the Vet Robot stereo calibration procedure is now easier because we now show a graphical representation of the quality of the results.
• SPM12 .mat files can now be loaded everywhere a 4×4 matrix can be loaded from file; notably this can be used for atlas space registrations.
• When exporting .txt files from the Session Review window, the option to snap samples to a reconstruction previously only snapped inwards but now it will now snap in either direction, thus working for samples created inside the head (due to use of ‘crosshairs offset’ slider for example).
• Fixed a bug where the NEURO PRAX impedance check failed to update the electrode colours.
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Download:

• Brainsight 2.4.6 can be downloaded from our website here: <https://www.rogue-research.com/downloads>

Important Compatibility Note:

• If you are already using the Brainsight 2.5 beta, don’t install this version.

Changes since version 2.4.4:

• Fixed a crash that could occur opening projects created by older versions of Brainsight, where the project once contained NIRS data that was subsequently deleted.
• Exporting .nirs files can now include the results of any analysis that was performed.
• Exported .nirs files now contain metadata indicating that centimetres are used for positional information. This will prevent Homer2 from having to ask.
• The Vet Robot Configuration window no longer shows a ring around the flange in the camera views because the concept does not apply to the newest hardware.
• The newest version of the FTDI device driver (2.4.4) is now installed (this controls communication with RS-232 serial devices like the Polaris camera and Magstim TMS stimulator).

We are happy to announce the release of Brainsight 2.4.2.

Before proceeding with this update, please read the following important information.

Minimum requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan or later is required. For a free update, visit <https://www.apple.com/macos/how-to-upgrade/>. Contact us if you need to upgrade your Mac hardware.
• This version of Brainsight was tested against OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan), 10.12.6 (Sierra), 10.13.6 (High Sierra), 10.14.6 (Mojave), and 10.15.2 (Catalina).
• Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and earlier are unsupported.

Important Compatibility Note:

• Note: the project file format has changed vs version 2.3.x. Brainsight 2.4 can open documents created by older versions of Brainsight, but older versions of Brainsight cannot open documents created by Brainsight 2.4. Opening an old project will convert the project format, and the conversion cannot be reversed.

Changes since version 2.4.1:

• When performing coil (or tool) calibrations, relaxed the check for how much the calibration block and tool tracker moved (it became too strict in Brainsight 2.4, resulting in calibrations sometimes failing even when the trackers were reasonably still).
• When using the ‘target positioning tool’, targets are once again drawn semi-transparent (this broke in Brainsight 2.3.4).
• The driver for the KeySpan USB-serial adapter is no longer installed because it does not work well with recent versions of macOS. If you have the driver already installed (from a previous version of Brainsight), it won’t be uninstalled, so you can continue to use it, however, we recommend contacting us for a free replacement.
• The newest version of the FTDI device driver is now installed (this controls communication with RS-232 serial devices like the Polaris camera and Magstim TMS stimulator).
• Fixed miscellaneous bugs.

Download:

• Brainsight 2.4.2 can be downloaded from our website here: <https://www.rogue-research.com/downloads>
• You might also need to download “Support Files Human 1.5” and/or “Support Files Vet 1.2” if you have an older version. Brainsight will warn at launch if that’s the case.
• You’ll need your serial number, which you can get from Brainsight itself from the Brainsight menu > ‘Enter/View Serial Number’.

Feedback:

• Please report any and all bugs, feedback, suggestions, etc. to <support@rogue-research.com> or by phone at +1-866-984-3888 (Canada & USA) or +1-514-284-3888.
