BIOPAC announces a Programmable Stimulation System for E-Prime to control stimulus frequency and stimulus intensity for real-time stimulus delivery changes based on a subject's responses. The system includes a Constant Current and Constant Voltage Linear Isolated Stimulator (STMISOL), USB 4-ch D/A Unit, software utility for communication between E-Prime and the stimulator, a sample E-Prime experiment with the necessary interface […]

MRI Gating System for Two Signals Respiration and ECG or BP The DTU200 is a dual channel gating system for small animal MRI applications (human system available). It sends cardiac trigger pulses to the MRI when a respiration signal is in the quiet phase. Pre-processing filters and gain controls further refine the quality of the […]

The […]

BIOPAC Systems, Inc. crossed a milestone with its solar power—the company has generated more than 117,500 kilowatt hours (KWH) and saved 145,735 pounds of CO2 emissions since installing solar roof tiles in January 2007. Solar power covers 35-50% of the company’s power needs, depending on the season. In addition to solar roof tiles, the company uses motion […]

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 […]

Mind Controlled Car—the premier episode of the new Discovery Channel series “Prototype This!”—used BIOPAC equipment to measure a driver’s heart rate and GSR as indicators of mental state as part of a feedback system that turns the car off when a driver reaches “road rage.” The series features a team of expert engineers who work […]
