This BSL PRO Lesson explains how to isolate the gastrocnemius muscle of the frog and its somatic motor nerve (the sciatic nerve) and describes the hardware and software setup necessary to record threshold voltage and contractile responses.
* These objectives are covered in the introductory text and recording template for BSL 4.0.1 or above only.
Isolate the gastrocnemius muscle and stimulate to observe and measure threshold and maximal response, and summation, tetanus, and fatigue.

Researchers can now easily add an olfactory element to expand general psychophysiology studies, enrich virtual and augmented environments, or examine how scent perception affects a variety of applications. BIOPAC’s new Scent Delivery System (SDS200-SYS), connects to an MP160 Research System with AcqKnowledge, and delivers up to eight scents to participants.
You Will Learn How To:
• Add olfactory stimulation to any experiment
• Optimize setup to get the best results
• Combine different types of stimulation
