Data Acquisition and Analysis Solutions for Psychophysiology Research
Supports plethysmography, sleep studies & neuromarketing research
Record and analyze ECG, EEG, EGG, EMG, EOG, ICG & Cardiac output
In-lab and Real-world Recording
Use AcqKnowledge® and BIOPAC® MP Systems to power your emotion, arousal, stress, cognitive assessment, group interaction, startle, and other psychophysiology research! Now with hardware options for remote studies, record your subjects in their natural environment. Wirelessly record a wide variety of autonomic nervous system functions including heart rate, electrodermal activity (EDA), skin temperature (SKT), muscle tension (EMG), neuronal activity (EEG), eye movement (EOG), or gastric smooth muscle contractions (EGG) with BioNomadix®. Continuous noninvasive blood pressure is also available to capture immediate changes in BP before, during and after stimulus presentation. Record via standard amplifiers in the lab or record with BIOPAC’s MRI Smart Amplifiers to record signals during fMRI.

Details
Use AcqKnowledge‘s fully automated analysis routines for: Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA), Impedance Cardiography (ICG), Muscle Activation (startle paradigms), Lead II ECG Analysis, Skin Conductance Response (SCR) Analysis, EEG Frequency Analysis, EMG Frequency Analysis. The software automatically scores data to indicate where the measurement was taken and displays the measurement as a new channel, or exports results to a Journal file or a spreadsheet.
Display measurements (e.g., mean, max, min values and standard deviation) during or after data collection. Combine physiological and psychological (self-assessment) responses for a detailed study. Mark events and write comments as they occur or after the fact and interface directly to stimulus presentation programs such as SuperLab, E-Prime, Presentation, and Vizard.
Combine stimulus presentation and virtual reality with electrical, auditory, somatosensory, and olfactory stimulation using BIOPAC’s range of synchronized stimulation solutions to record visual (VEP), auditory (AEP), somatosensory (SEP), olfactory (OERP) evoked potentials.
Video single or multiple subjects and synchronize the video with the physiological data. Replay the video and pause at a point of interest and see the exact point in the physiological record, or select a point in the physiological data and the video will advance to the corresponding video frame.
