| Newborn, infant, and toddler study populations require a different approach than typical study groups. Researchers studying these populations face a unique set of challenges that often require specialized equipment and lab environments that may include parents or caregivers. Particular emphasis is typically placed on safety and skin sensitivity, as well. Join BIOPAC to learn the latest information, tips, and tricks for conducting research on this specialized population. We host a Power Panel of four experts who will present their work and discuss their findings. Jannath Begum Ali, PhD, University of London Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, will present Optimizing physiological recordings in clinical populations. Dr. Ali will share her work collecting physiological data (ECG, GSR, EMG, respiration) from infant age groupings spanning newborn to toddler. She will discuss the practicalities of conducting longitudinal studies with clinical populations while incorporating physiological measurements in a multi-method context. Jessie R. Maxwell, MD, Director of Research, Neonatology Division for the University of New Mexico, will share insights for troubleshooting issues that arise when using BIOPAC equipment in a clinical setting. She will talk about the work that is being conducted at the University of New Mexico, which includes using BIOPAC in a newborn nursery setting and the newborn intensive care unit. Professor Sam Wass of the University of East London and BabyDevLab will present Heart to Heart: Recording physiological data during solo and parent-child naturalistic interactions in the lab, and in home settings. He will discuss his work collecting physiological data with infants across a range of ages, covering both traditional experiments and free-flowing naturalistic interactions in the lab and home settings. Slav Dimov, BIOPAC Systems, Inc., will review challenges in recording physiological data from neonates and infants, including participant compliance issues, tips on how to enhance compliance, and developmental differences in neonates and infants for ECG, HR, and EDA/GSR. Mr. Dimov will also present an overview of suitable BIOPAC equipment, electrodes, gels, skin prep, etc., for this population. Related Webinars: | Complete Form to Watch Video |
Sam’s research examines how concentration, stress, and learning capacities develop during early childhood. His current research project examines how noisy early home environments affect concentration and mental health in children growing up in diverse socio-economic status backgrounds in East London. He is also a collaborator on projects in London, New York, and Canada with clinical populations (children with Attention Deficit Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and Rett Syndrome).

Easily record great electrodermal activity (EDA, GSR) data. BIOPAC’s new Smart Amplifiers are designed for great data. Smart Amplifiers improve performance by amplifying the physiological signal close to the subject, which allows a high-level voltage connection to the data acquisition system and reduces noise artifact. AcqKnowledge Smart Amp setup includes guides and prompts to prevent […]
View AllBIOPAC provides researchers with a complete range of tools to gather data on heart rate variability (HRV). The following studies demonstrate just some of the ways in which HRV research benefits from the implementation of BIOPAC hardware and software solutions. PTSD and HRV Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with dysfunction of the autonomic […]
