PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY

Psychophysiology

Record a wide variety of autonomic nervous system functions, including heart rate, skin conductance (also resistance), skin temperature, muscle tension (EMG), neuronal activity (EEG), and eye movement (EOG). New features simplify Advanced Averaging (P300 functionality) and allow Dual Stimulation (two outputs per MP150). Display measurements (e.g., mean value and standard deviation) during or after data collection. Perform detailed event-related potential (ERP) studies using a variety of different stimulus options, including image presentations, video clips, sound, and somatosensory stimulation. Combine physiological and psychological (self-assessment) responses for a detailed study. Use the Equation Generator to enter equations for combining multiple physiological variables for automatic assessment, or choose from an array of preset calculations. Mark events and write comments as they occur or after the fact.

BIOPAC also offers a number of automated scoring routines that guide the user through the analysis process. The software automatically scores the data to indicate where the measurement was taken and provides options for displaying the measurements as a new channel and exporting the values to either a Journal file or Excel.

  • ECG Interval & Amplitude Extraction
  • ECG classification
  • Heart Rate Variability
