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, presents Optimizing physiological recordings in clinical populations. Dr. Ali shares her work collecting physiological data (ECG, GSR, EMG, respiration) from infant age groupings spanning newborn to toddler. She discusses 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, shares insights for troubleshooting issues that arise when using BIOPAC equipment in a clinical setting. She talks 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 presents Heart to Heart: Recording physiological data during solo and parent-child naturalistic interactions in the lab, and in home settings. He discusses 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., reviews 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 also presents an overview of suitable BIOPAC equipment, electrodes, gels, skin prep, etc., for this population.
