Rowan Ellis, founder of the Body Synergy gym, has a simple but compelling approach to relieving musculoskeletal pain. His hypothesis: to protect the spine and joints, one must contract the right muscles at the right time. Rowan believes that poor physical awareness of which muscles we are using, especially the trapezius, is a root cause for a variety of back problems and some forms of migraine. The Delsys EMG system allows him to view clients’ muscle activity in great detail.

They're slow, spineless and slimy but if you think you don't have much in common with a snail, think again. Researchers are learning a surprising amount about the human brain by studying snails and we thought it was time to expand our snail neurophysiology session in the latest Crawdad educator's course.

Michigan State University has been helping local high school students prepare for the upcoming Brain Bee, with a series of weekend workshops. The latest was Brain Sparks, supported by ADInstruments, which used PowerLabs to study the electrical signals generated by the nervous system in crayfish, fruit flies and the students themselves.

Sometimes it’s the tiny details that make all the difference - in this case, a minor but important addition to the Welcome Center in LabChart 8 that lets you create easy access to shared data and settings.

Education is really important to everyone here - it's great to think that we can help teachers help students towards a career in life sciences - and every so often, we like to put ourselves on the receiving end of our LabTutor experiments.

Our new Student Licenses provide access to LabChart Pro for data analysis. Your students can work on data outside of class, so you can devote more of their lab time to teaching hands-on, practical, data-collection techniques.

Another of our favorite additions to LabChart 8 are the Send and Publish functions. Designed to help both teachers and researchers, they’re a great way to share data from the classroom or the lab.

We’re proud to announce the recipients of the ADInstruments Neurobiology Educator Development Scholarships: Dr Zeni Shabani, from Minot State University, and Dr Martine Mirrione, from Quinnipiac University.

The Data Plots feature lets you quickly create plots to analyze your data or even monitor trends in your data as you sample. You can make a plot right within LabChart – no more time spent cutting and pasting data between applications! Watch the video after the click.

We're proud to launch a new website and brand refresh that better reflects ADInstruments, the quality of the company's products, and the efforts our people put into delivering expert Training and Support in a timely manner. ADInstruments' purpose has remained the same over the past quarter century...

Novel signaling pathway demonstrated, involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary artery hypertension. Possibility for future therapeutic interventions of pulmonary artery hypertension.

For a third year running, ADInstruments has sponsored the annual "Teaching and Research in Neuroscience for Development in Africa" (TReND) summer schools at Kampala International University (KIU), Uganda.

To show Delsys' new wireless EMG sensors in action, we recorded the EMG signals from a top gymnast as she ran, tumbled, and flipped through her routine. These sensors are compact and lightweight, enabling you to collect authentic signals of your subject's natural movement with no wires to get in the...
