Logging Physiological Data | Data Acquisition
Logging subject
data has never been easier than with the advent of wireless subject recording
devices. Quality wireless products allow for accurate readings on a subject’s
physiology in ways tethered devices cannot. Now with products like the Mobita
wearable…
EEG Data Acquisition
BIOPAC offers a
wide range of tools for recording and analyzing human or animal EEG signals.
Available hardware includes the EEG100C amplifier, which amplifies bioelectric
potentials associated with neuronal activity of the brain and can be used to
perform…
Noninvasive Cardiac Output | Data Acquisition
Noninvasive
Cardiac Output (NICO) measures can be determined by employing electrical
bioimpedance (EBI) measurement techniques. Electrical bioimpedance is the
characteristic impedance of a volume
of tissue and fluid. For Cardiac Output measures, the
relevant…
Data Hardware & Software Platforms
Data
acquisition hardware and software requirements vary widely based on experiment
protocol, classroom setup, field studies, etc. BIOPAC data acquisition hardware
platforms support wired, wireless, and fMRI setups, for human or animal
subjects,…
Biomechanics Transducers | Data Acquisition
Biomechanics
data can include measures of force and motion of body position, posture, and
joint movement over a wide range of static and dynamic conditions. Biomechanics
measurements are meaningful for a wide variety of research applications, such…
End the Complications of Data Acquisition Hardware
Data
Acquisition and analysis for the life sciences has improved immensely from the
days of chart recorders and oscilloscopes. Remember when data had to be scored
by hand, and marked and measured with a ruler? The old technology of the past
has given…
Wireless Surface EMG Modules | Data Acquisition
Physiological
data acquisition systems offer many options for recording surface EMG, needle
EMG, and fine wire EMG. General muscle activity and fatigue can be determined
by recording and analyzing surface EMG data from major muscle groups.
Recording
facial…
EMG Analysis | Biomechanics
Biomechanics
research has never been easier thanks to powerful new data acquisition and
analysis tools. Perform real-time calculations and post-data acquisition
analysis on a variety of biomechanical and physiological data.
Simultaneously
acquire…
Electrocardiogram Signals | ECG Analysis
Electrocardiogram signals can be recorded
from humans or animals wirelessly or via tethered amplifiers(BioNomadix). Analyzing changes
in ECG rhythms can provide valuable insight into stress, arousal, and exercise
research. Automated ECG Analysis
packages…
Neuromarketing Solutions | Data Acquisition
Neuromarketing solutions are available that allow you to examine physiological responses to products, environments, other stimuli or decision making tasks. Multiple physiological signals can be recorded and analyzed for Neuromarketing, including…
Virtual Reality & Neuromarketing
Immersive
virtual reality environments can unlock physical boundaries and budget limits.
Applications
for VR protocols are varied and include Psychology, Ergonomics, Neuromarketing
& Neuroeconomics (Consumer Research), Biomechanics & Kinesiology,…
Muscular Biofeedback | Surface EMG
Biofeedback
is
a form of self-regulation in which an individual is provided information in the
form of sensory feedback about a biological condition or function in order to
gain control over that biological function. Biofeedback is often used…
The Body Electric | Surface EMG
Electricity
is part of everything the body does.
Electricity
is always flowing in the body; it flows from negatively charged parts of the
body to positively charged parts. As this electricity flows, surface EMG (sEMG)
electrodes can detect and monitor…
Neuromarketing and Neuroeconomics | Data Acquisition
Neuromarketing and neuroeconomics research use physiological data to examine a participant’s response to a product, service, or decision making task. Researchers combine cognitive, sensorimotor, and affective responses to marketing stimuli from advertisements…
Wireless Physiology | Data Acquisition
Research
and education in the life sciences often benefits from the use of monitoring
devices in which the subject being tested can move freely. BIOPAC now offers a multiple parameter
ambulatory monitoring system—the BioNomadix series of wireless…
MP150 Data Acquisition Software
AcqKnowledge is the next generation in data acquisition and analysis.
With BIOPAC Systems’ MP System and AcqKnowledge acquisition software, research is more efficient than ever. Record, organize, manage and analyze data easily with…
Heart Rate Variability
What
is Heart Rate Variability?
Heart
rate variability studies examine alterations in the interval between heart
beats. Several physiological variables can affect the normal rhythm of the
heart and the interaction between the sympathetic and parasympathetic…
AcqKnowledge Electrocardiogram(ECG) Routines
What is an ECG?
An ECG - or electrocardiogram – is a common test used to gauge heart health. It monitors the electrical activity of the heart, which can indicate problems related to heart rate and valve health. Other reasons an ECG may be performed…
