Contributed Teaching Experiments
| Recording Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Auditory Related Potentials (ARPs) in Humans | ||||
 |
A basic introduction to the use of Event Related Potential (ERP) techniques for teaching and human research. This application note investigates neural activity through the use of external electrodes that measure electrical activity at the level of the scalp. Contributed by: Russell Conduit

| ECG Exercise Using an Isolated Frog Heart | ||||
 |
Simple but effective exercises using an isolated frog heart to demonstrate the principles of ECG. Includes the construction of a "human phantom" using a silhouette cut out of plastic, a frog heart, and electrodes made from disposable syringe needles. Contributed by: Alexey Putvinskiy

| Polysomnographic (PSG) Recording in Humans | ||||
 |
Interesting exercises designed to investigate the physiological changes in EEG, EMG, and EOG that can occur during a daytime nap in humans. Contributed by: Russell Conduit

| Vitamin C Concentration in Dietary Sources and Body Fluids | ||||
 |
This contribution describes approaches to measuring ascorbate dietary levels and examining the fate of the vitamin C once ingested. Two methods of assessment of ascorbate are described using the PowerLab system. Contributed by: Alexey Putvinskiy and Robert Kemm

|
||||
| Physical Simulations of ECG | ||||
 |
Various ways to simulate ECG (without using an isolated heart), using simple methods, simple materials, and a PowerLab system. Contributed by: Alexey Putvinskiy
