Installers for Supported Operating Systems

macOS

Turbo-BrainVoyager_5.0_arm64_Installer.pkg

Windows

Linux

To install Turbo-BrainVoyager, download the software via the link that matches your operating system. Please note that Turbo-BrainVoyager 5.x for macOS requires ARM-based Apple Silicon; older Intel hardware is no longer supported.

Turbo-BrainVoyager utilizes a software-based licensing system and requires a valid license key to run. However, a license key is not required for Turbo-BrainVoyager EDU 5.0 (coming soon). For both editions, you must accept the license agreement during the installation process.

Installation Instructions

To install the program, launch the downloaded installer (e.g. by double-clicking the file) and follow the instructions of the Installation Wizard. In case you have an older version of Turbo-BrainVoyager, close any running instance prior to installation. We highly recommend to deinstall any older version of Turbo-BrainVoyager before running the installer. Note that Turbo-BrainVoyager is a 64-bit software running on Windows (Intel/AMD), macOS (arm64) and Linux (Intel/AMD).

Sample Data

The installer does not include sample data sets. You may, however, download several data sets from the Turbo-BrainVoyager sample data web site. The web site can also be opened directly from Turbo-BrainVoyager by clicking the "Sample Data (Web)" item in the "Help" (or "?") menu. The web site includes a Faces-Houses localizer, a Neurofeedback multi-run study, a BCI SVM classifier, and a 7 Tesla Emotion Neurofeedback study. These example datasets can be used to learn about basic features of Turbo-BrainVoyager. While it is not important where you install them on your computer, it is recommended to put them in the "[user]/Documents/TurboBrainVoyager/SampleData" folder. After extracting the data sets, you will also find PDF files for most tutorials and/or a description in the User's Guide.

System Requirements

macOS: Turbo-BrainVoyager 5.0 is compatible with macOS 26 (Tahoe), macOS 15 (Sequoia), macOS 14 (Sonoma), and macOS 13 (Ventura) running natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2..) Macs exploiting Apple's 'Accelerate' and 'Metal' frameworks for optimal performance.

Windows: Version 5.0 of Turbo-BrainVoyager is fully compatible with the Intel / AMD 64-bit (x86-64) version of Microsoft Windows 11.

Linux: Version 5.0 of Turbo-BrainVoyager is compatible with modern 64 bit Linux distributions running on recent Intel/AMD machines. The provided and supported download version has been compiled on 64 bit Ubuntu 24.04 but it also works on newer Ubuntu versions as well as most other modern distributions, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Fedora, and Debian. In case you get a "Untrusted application launcher" (or similar) dialog box when launching BrainVoyager the first time from its location in the file system, right-click the icon and select the "Allow Launching" or "Mark as Trusted" item in the context menu. If the program does not run on your x86-64 Linux distribution, send an email to "support [at] BrainVoyager [dot] com". Note, however, that we do not support Linux distributions that are older than 3 years.

Working memory. While many operations of BrainVoyager run with modest working memory (RAM) demands, a minimum of 8 GB is required and 16+ GB is recommended.

GPU support for graphics and compute. Turbo-BrainVoyager is a graphics- and compute intensive program. On macOS It exploits Apple's Metal GPU framework for both graphics rendering as well as for acceleration of compute-intensive calculations. On Windows and Linux it uses OpenCL to parallelize computations on e,g, NVIDIA GPU's.

Note: To benefit from GPU acceleration (Metal, OpenCL), it must be turned on in the “GPU Settings" dialog, which can be launched using the ‘GPU Settings’ item in the “File” menu.

Setup and Documentation

To adjust the software to your own scanner environment, you need to make sure that the scanner is able to incrementally store functional data in image space volume-by-volume to disk and that the PC running Turbo-BrainVoyager has access to the stored data. You need also to specify the location of the real-time exported data and eventually some parameters about the data in a "TBV Settings" file. Consult the User's Guide for further details. The guide can be easily invoked by clicking the "Help | User's Guide" menu item and it is also available online. Please read the release notes in the guide's "What's New" topic to learn about new features, enhancements and bug fixes. If you have any questions about setup as well as suggestions or bug reports, please send an email to "support at BrainVoyager dot com".

Plugins

The installer comes with plugins that are stored in the “[user]/Documents/Turbo-BrainVoyager/Extensions/Plugins" folder. Two plugins extent the export facilities of TBV that may be useful as a basis for custom visualisations for e.g. neurofeedback studies. One plugin ("SVMAccessPlugin") provides access to the output of a running SVM classifier that can be used for custom neurofeedback calculations and visualizations. Furthermore, the real-time ICA plugin provides a sophisticated online data-driven data analysis tool complementing the GLM-based statistical analysis. You can use the plugins from the "Plugins" menu after installation. If you are interested to develop your own plugins, consult the User's Guide. You will also find the source code of the plugins in the "Extensions” folder, if not, send an email to support [at] brainvoyager [dot] com.
