Using Brainfeed

Brainfeed user interface was designed to encourage exploration. For this reason we have kept the onscreen startup instructions to a minimum and encourage users to naturally find their way through the user interface. :)

If you want to know more about Brainfeed's special controls, well, you are in the right place.
