Space Flight Simulations Prevent Disasters Under psychological and physical stress, astronauts can put their mission and crew in danger. Looking into this issue, researchers created a potentially catastrophic spaceflight simulation using a virtual reality environment and recorded the heart rate of participants. Psychophysiological responses to the potentially disastrous flight simulation were recorded using a BIOPAC MP […]
Impact of Green Space on Stress Reduction Research studies show that the increased exposure of urbanization, traffic noise and pollution has been correlated with increasing levels of stress. However, do greener, more natural environments provide the opposite effect, restoring human well-being and contributing in stress reduction? Researchers compared user experiences in Virtual Reality (VR) scenes […]
BIOPAC combines eye tracking with mobile data logging and physiology data collection to run experiments in the lab or in the real world BIOPAC Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce new eye tracking integration for researchers who conduct experiments from mobile participants in diverse locations. ETVision (EYE-ETV) eye tracking glasses now integrate with BIOPAC wireless systems and software, […]
Solving Physical Stress Issues for Surgeons Physical stress in the operating room is common for surgeons, considering how much time they spend in an upright standing position during surgical procedures. With procedures that require standing for several hours and average reported working times of 60-80 hours a week, surgeons seem to be at risk for musculoskeletal […]
BIOPAC is excited to present two new products to expand your research. These are made for wireless, wearable data reading and acquisition, allowing for physiology research where, when, and how you want it. BioNomadix BioShirt: The lightweight, comfortable sensing shirt simultaneously acquires ECG and Respiration data while subjects roam freely. BioNomadix BioShirt contains a respiration sensor […]
Innovative Integration of Eye Tracking and Physiology Data Now Available from BIOPAC December 10, 2019 | Goleta, CA BIOPAC Systems, Inc. now offers a new eye tracking solution with stimulus presentation that integrates physiology data with eye tracking data. The Remote, Screen-based Eye Tracking Bar hardware and software allows researchers to present stimuli and collect eye tracking data combined […]
Correlating Driver Fatigue and Altitude Change In ongoing efforts to make our roads ever safer, frequent studies are published researching driver fatigue. In this study, researchers used wearable Eye Tracking technology and recorded eye movement, blink rate, and other physiological signals with the BIOPAC MP160 Data Acquisition Unit. The purpose of the study was to […]
Virtual Reality Muscle Training in Stroke Patients: Muscle weakening of the lower extremities has a significant correlation with loss of balance and walking ability in stroke patients. Researchers at Sehan University studied the effect of a virtual reality-based eccentric training program on lower extremity muscle activation and balance for rehabilitation of stroke patients. BIOPAC’s EMG100C surface […]
Psychophysiological Indicators for Substance Abuse in Preschoolers: Children’s development of emotional regulation is seen as an extremely crucial part in their development of social behavior. Researchers from the University of Oregon hypothesized that children whom have faced high levels of adversity, and would thus have low emotional regulation, would help identify physiological markers that could indicate […]
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, […]
