The Java version improved the user interface and allowed Neat Software to run </ins>on <ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">any Java-enabled browser.

After Dr. Warner was awarded the Nason Fellowship at Syracuse University in 1995 he set up a research facility, The Center for Really Neat Research (CRNR), and began collaborating with Professor Lipson. While at SU Dave Warner also met Yuh-Jye Chang, a programming theory doctoral student and 1996 Java Cup International award winner, who began to update and improve the functionality of Neat Software.

It provided a generic way for users to configure any input device without the need for technical coding ability. In conjunction with inexpensive sensors, and custom-built rigs, it allowed researchers at the CRNR to create custom computer interface for their clients rapidly and simply. Once created, these NeatTools programs could be changed and configured by the end-user. Professor Lipson and Dr. Warner also formed MindTel, LLC as the commercial entity for the development of hardware and software to aid their research. In 1998 Professor Lipson and Paul Gelling developed TNG-3 (and later TNG-3B), a 16-channel device that can receive both analog and digital signals (8 each).
