Magnets and Blood Pressure Biomedical researchers in China have recently investigated the possibility of using magnets to alter a person’s blood pressure. They constructed a device that applies a weak, rotating magnetic field around the cerebral cortex. The researchers used a BIOPAC MP150 Data Acquisition System to obtain continuous blood pressure data. What they found […]

Neuropsychophysiological mapping was the topic of Jennifer Robinson’s poster presentation at the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) Annual Meeting 2015. The presentation reviews data acquired using BIOPAC MR-compatible modules, leads, and electrodes during simultaneous ultra high field, high-resolution functional neuroimaging. The poster clearly explains setup and shows neural correlates paired with ECG, EMG, EDA, and Grip, […]

BIOPAC research systems have been featured in a number of recent studies. These new studies are just some of the 20,000 scholarly references featuring BIOPAC solutions and others can be found over at our publications page. Here are some of the highlights of the new papers that utilized BIOPAC products: Reading Comprehension & ADHD Symptoms: […]

New publications have been released featuring BIOPAC research solutions. As always, these studies and more can be found over at our publications page. These brand new publications include: Recovering Alcoholics Brain Reactivity to Alcohol: This study examined functional brain differences between individuals with varying amounts of time in alcoholic recovery. The researcher’s utilized a BIOPAC […]

In Technology: Photoplethysmography with a Smart Phone Pulse transit time (PTT) recordings are widely used to make inferences about dynamics of vascular walls and blood pressure variations, parameters useful to the diagnosis of several respiratory conditions.  Chinese researchers have developed a method for noninvasive photoplethysmograhic imaging (PPGi) using the dual cameras of a common smartphone, […]

Brand new publications have been released featuring BIOPAC solutions. These new papers include: Nervous System Activity in Soccer Players: Researchers studied the autonomic nervous modulation in soccer players in comparison to ordinary individuals and the effect of rest on that modulation. ECG signals were recorded from participants using a BIOPAC MP150 system. Read the entire […]

Humans, much like animals, separate themselves into different social hierarchies often associated by some specific sort of status signal. While animals may assign hierarchies strictly through physiological measures, the Biosocial Model states that speech is often the strongest form of status signaling for humans. BIOPAC user Allan Mazur recently was part of the research team […]

Brand new publications have been released featuring BIOPAC solutions. These new papers include: Effects of T’ai chi on Lower Back Pain: This study observed a group of females in their 20’s with acute lower back pain and the effects that practicing T’ai Chi had on their condition. The researchers recorded surface EMG using a BIOPAC […]
