The Metabolic Analysis script, with the companion graph template, is used to measure metabolic parameters from a subject: air flow, %O2, %CO2.
File setup and calibration is entirely scripted, meaning the program has full control of the process and the user is queried for input only when the script requires it. Program flow is manifested with buttons and prompts. A detailed Script Guide is included with the download.
Place the script and template within the program directory:
C:ProgramDataBIOPAC Systems, IncAcqKnowledge 4.2.xScripts
- Metabolic Analysis.bbs
- MetabolicAnalysisTemplate.gtl
Launch AcqKnowledge (with an active Scripting license).
Select the Script menu and choose the script (.bbs file), which will be invoked when it is selected.

Many studies use hand dynamometry to objectively quantify exerted effort during experiments most commonly related to the study of motivation.
We’ll focus on this topic and go over everything you need to know to record dynamometry data in the MRI or in the lab. Topics include
– Calibrating for maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)
– Real-time access to the dynamometer signal by third-party applications
– How researchers have used this equipment
– Creating a visual task that gives feedback on exerted effort as well as rewards to the participant

Discovering and understanding what motivates humans to produce better results has intrigued many researchers. Many researchers have explored the psychophysiological processes that drive our behavior. Here are some recent studies that have used BIOPAC systems to research motivation… Motivation and Pleasure Deficits Undermine the Benefits of Social Affiliation in Psychosis. Blanchard, J. J., Smith, J. […]
Eye tracking technology has come a long way and has enabled researchers to conduct mobile experiments and track participants in real world scenarios. These featured studies demonstrate some of the use cases for mobile eye tracking technology. Here are some recent studies that have used BIOPAC systems for eye tracking research… Drivers’ gaze patterns when resuming […]
