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.

Typical Stimulation Studies:

Response or reaction times (RT) and duration

Conscious response types (positive or negative)

Evoked responses (biopotentials, EOG, EEG, EMG)

Subconscious responses (heart rate, breathing rate)

Biofeedback

Stress Response

Reaction times

Sensory perceptions & Illusions

Classic conditioning

Operant conditioning

TMS Studies

Signals Supported

EEG

+

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.

Electrical Stimulation

+

Measure electrical stimulation and pacing in human subjects.

EMG

+

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.

EOG

+

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.

Extracellular Recordings

+

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.

Heart Rate

+

Options for both wireless and wired recording of heart rate as a reference to changes in cognitive and emotional states.

Sound

+

Trigger sounds played to participants during the experiment and record responses.

Temperature

+

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.

Video

+

Simultaneously record and synchronize video to observe video and physiological data together.
