A presentation was made at the last European meeting on Hypertension. “Beneficial Effect of Nitric Oxide on Large Arteries in Hypertensive Rats”. C […]
To date it has been difficult to characterize the length-tension curve for a specific muscle. However, recent developments in the application of vibromyographic (VMG) technology to assess muscle effort permit an accurate determination of length-tension curve, thereby permitting accurate diagnosis and rehabilitation of muscle.

New Methodology Removes Artifact fMRI, MRI, Magnetic Resonance Imaging BIOPAC announces a new method to remove gradient artifact from physiological data recorded inside a functional MRI. The new technique allows researchers to record ECG, heart rate and R-R interval data from a subject while the MRI is taking images. The same technique also significantly improves […]
Reading Voters' Minds—a CNN story originally aired February 4, 2008—shows BIOPAC equipment used to record facial EMG and EDA (GSR) as indicators of what eight undecided California voters like and dislike as they watch candidates debate. Data recorded with an MP150 System/TEL100C and AcqKnowledge® software is used to compare how voters said they felt about […]
The recently released BIOPAC virtual reality platform provides controlled and replicable experimental setups and allows manipulation of the environment (and avatars) that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive in the real world. Synchronization of events from the virtual world with physiological data from an MP System allow accurate and automated data analysis. The virtual reality […]
