Record the electrical activity of the brain that occurs between pairs of electrodes in contact with the scalp and represents the sum of a large amount of underlying neural activity.
ADInstruments offers a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution for visual stimulus presentation and evoked response studies to study behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, and decision-making. With the combination of SuperLab and StimTracker from Cedrus with PowerLab and LabChart, you can create an integrated system with simple media management, tracking and complete control of your research data.
Our human approved stimulus isolators also allow for studies requiring electrical stimulation of nerves. PowerLab can also interface with other types of stimulators, such as TMS machines for non-invasive brain stimulation.
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 the event in LabChart, giving you more flexibility and the ability to integrate your data streams in one place.
All our hardware recommended for human use is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.

TMS Studies
Record the electrical activity of the brain that occurs between pairs of electrodes in contact with the scalp and represents the sum of a large amount of underlying neural activity.
Measure electrical stimulation and pacing in human subjects.
Electromyography (EMG) is the study of muscle electrical activity. Useful in recording reflexes and reaction times through to fine facial movements in response to stimuli.
Eye movements can be recorded using electrodes placed in the skin near the eyes. This includes such as tracking moving objects, fixating on stationary objects while the head moves, or measuring the direction and size of eye movements.
Sample single or multi-unit spikes. Sort and analyze these signals with LabChart’s Spike Histogram Module. Your LFP and Evoked potentials can be analyzed using Peak Analysis.
Options for both wireless and wired recording of heart rate as a reference to changes in cognitive and emotional states.
Trigger sounds played to participants during the experiment and record responses.
Temperature is a useful tool in determining many factors such as subject health or the stability of an experimental preparation. It is also usefulas a calculation factor for comparing measurements taken in different states.
Simultaneously record and synchronize video to observe video and physiological data together.
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.
