Directly record and analyze peripheral nerve activity from humans using microneurography.
Microneurography is a technique that uses metal electrodes to record neural impulse traffic of both myelinated and unmyelinated axons in efferent and afferent neurons of the skin and muscle. By doing this, the technique can provide information about the neurophysiology of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system.
Microneurography can be performed using ADInstruments Neuro Amp EX together with a PowerLab for data acquisition. The Neuro Amp EX is a low-noise, high-gain amplifier which has a wide range of filters and is certified safe for human connection.

Record many signals
at one time
Use LabChart and PowerLab with the Neuro Amp EX to analyse neural activity in human subjects - it's certified safe for human connection. Six gold connectors are supplied for customization of microelectrode adapters. A human-approved isolated stimulator is also available for superficial detection and activation of nerves.
In conjunction with our solutions shown below, any device with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of event in LabChart. So you have even more flexibility and can integrate all your data streams in one place.
All of our hardware recommended for human use is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.

Sensory functions
Extracellular recordings are recordings of electrical potentials produced by a cell, either in extracellular fluid near the cell of interest, or non-invasively. These types of recordings can be divided into three main groups; single/multiple unit recordings, whole nerve recordings, and field potentials.
ADInstruments systems provide an integrated solution to advance life science research. With the combination of LabChart or LabChart Lightning analysis software and a PowerLab data acquisition unit, you have the flexibility to collect and synchronize a wide range of signals for analysis. We also offer a range of LabChart compatible solutions able to stream directly in LabChart.
Enabling Discovery
LabChart data analysis software creates a platform for all of your recording devices to work together, allowing you to acquire biological signals from multiple sources simultaneously and apply advanced calculations and plots as your experiment unfolds.

Human Nerve activity data analyzed using LabChart’s RMS Arithmetic feature and the Spike Histogram Add-On
Investigating neural control of Blood Pressure
Microneurography is a highly skilled invasive technique that requires 1-2 months of training in a laboratory that uses it routinely. Institutional Review Boards (Human Research Ethics Committees) will require evidence of proficiency before granting approval.
×Additional acquisition and analysis features and add-ons to support your Microneurography studies:
Use scope view for spike-triggered averaging and the overlay of evoked responses.
Scope View
Use the Peak Analysis Module for LabChart for analysis of peak heights, half-widths, latency periods, population spike heights, rise times and areas.
Peak Analysis
MLS380/8
Use the Spike Histogram Module for LabChart for discrimination analysis of extracellular data.
Spike Histogram
MLS062/8
Can be used to automate commands during recording. Record your actions for repetitive operations, or get under the hood and write custom processes in VB Script.
