SET and Fibromyalgia: A research group created a process called “Systolic Extinction Training” (SET) which can reset the abnormal relationship between blood pressure (BP) and pain in fibromyalgia and chronic pain patients. To test the validity of their process, they used a BIOPAC MP150 system with ECG100C amplifier module while AcqKnowledge software stored and calculated […]

BIOPAC’s Alan Macy was profiled in an article for the Santa Barbara Independent newspaper to showcase his new project, the Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science and Technology (SBCAST). The column explains how Alan’s newest project is a major contribution to Santa Barbara community by providing a state of the art environment for artists and […]
Conditioned Stimuli and Fear: Conditioned stimuli used to elicit overt behavior is a common experimental paradigm in animals, but not with humans. Researchers at the University of Zurich thus tested whether Heart Period Responses (HPR) and conditioned stimuli are a suitable complement to SCR when testing fear memory with humans. Subjects’ psychophysiological data was recorded using […]
Pulse Oximetry and COPD: A recent study performed by Salim S. Al-Ani compared Pulse Oximetry levels in healthy adults and in a sample of individuals with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to better understand the relation among PO, age, and gender in healthy adults. Salim used a BIOPAC MP150 with the OXY100E, RSP100C, […]
The BIOPAC-SMI webinar “Integrating Eye Tracking Data with Physiological Measurements” recording has just been made available to view. In this exclusive webinar, which was held Tuesday March 8, BIOPAC and SMI experts present user case studies to demonstrate new research capabilities made possible by the plug & play integration of SensoMotoric Instruments eye tracking technology with […]
Indie Rock Relaxation: A recent study performed at Broom Community College studied the relaxation effects that Indie Rock music had on subjects. Unlike other studies, this experiment focused solely on the relaxation effects of music rather than comparing it to other relaxation methods. Heart Rate was measure using a BIOPAC MP System while subjects listened […]
Gualou Xiebai Decoction on Cardiac Fibrosis: Gualou Xiebai Decoction (GXD) is a well-known traditional Chinese recipe that has been used to treat cardiovascular disorders for nearly two thousand years. While it is known as an alternative medicine treatment, there is a lack of studies that show its effect on cardiac fibrosis. Researchers thus tested its effect […]
