BioHarness with AcqKnowledge software is a state-of-the-art lightweight portable biological data logger and telemetry system. It monitors, analyzes and records a variety of physiological parameters including ECG, respiration, temperature, posture, and acceleration. The BioHarness operates in BT transmitting mode for live viewing of data or data logging mode. In the data logging mode, the BioHarness logs the data for later download to the AcqKnowledge software using the USB docking and charging cradle that comes with the system.

A wireless neuro-actuator prosthetic was created using BIOPAC’s wireless hardware and additional custom hardware. The electromyogram of both opponens pollicis (thumb flex) and pronator quadratus (wrist rotate) was recorded from the Subject’s palms and wrists, and the real-time, high-resolution EMG signal was processed to control the grip and rotation of remote handgrips. For each arm, a BioNomadix Wireless EMG transmitter/receiver set was used with short 15 cm leads (BN-EL15-LEAD2 and BN-EL15-LEAD3) and five disposable electrodes EL503). EMG data was sampled at 2000 Hz and wirelessly transmitted at 2.4 GHz via bidirectional digital communications. The EMG signal output was switched to alternate mode for Integrated RMS (Envelope Detection Mode) and further conditioned to drive gripper and wrist servo motors. BioNomadix wearable physiology monitoring devices offer a fully-wireless recording system for life science research. Data can be recorded from two independent sites for a variety of signals, including ECG, EEG, EOG, EMG, EGG, EDA, GSR, Respiration, Pulse, Temperature, Impedance Cardiography, Strike Force, Goniometry, Accelerometry, and Gyro.

The NIBP-MRI is a wireless and noninvasive physiological monitoring system that tracks blood pressure, using Pulse-Decomposition Analysis (PDA) technology, as well as heart rate.

NIBP-MRI operates passively at a low constant coupling pressure of 40 mmHg. After being provided a calibrated blood pressure reading, the device tracks blood pressure by analyzing the timing and amplitudes of the primary left ventricular ejection pulse as well as the arterial pulse reflections, at the thumb, at the middle phalange of the middle finger, at the wrist, or upper arm. The system provides relative, real-time, beat-to-beat pressure measurement values during magnetic resonance imaging. Learn about BIOPAC MRI Solutions.

With the CAM-HFR-A system from BIOPAC you can record high-frame rate video (at up to 100 fps) tightly synchronized with physiological data from your existing MP200/MP200 Research System. The system connects to a Windows PC via included Ethernet card and is controlled through the Media Menu in AcqKnowledge 4.3.1 or above. CAM-HFR-A.

Use EL-CHECK to determine electrode/surface contact impedances and correct noise/impedance issues before you begin recording to improve the signal quality of your data. EL-CHECK is suitable for measuring electrode contact impedance for all surface biopotential measurements, including ECG, EEG, EGG, EMG, EOG, Bioimpedance and Impedance Cardiography. The EL-CHECK permits simultaneous connection of up to three electrode leads, for quick impedance checking between any two electrodes in the three connected leads (Active or Vin+) and (Reference or Vin-) and GND.
Measurements are selectable to a standard three-point contact (Vin+ to GND, Vin- to GND and Vin+ to Vin-). Electrode impedance range from less than 5 Kohm to greater than 50 Kohm is indicated in seven levels. EL-CHECK accepts standard Touchproof and BioNomadix connectors. EL-CHECK will support over 50,000 10-second measurements with a single 9-volt battery. EL-CHECK

The EPOCH ACTIVATOR is an activation and test utility for Epoch sensors (EEG, ECG and/or EMG, or reusable). Sensors are shipped from the factory deactivated and this reusable utility is required to start a sensor battery. The activator can also output two independent channels of data (sinewaves) for testing purposes.

Epoch Wireless Telemetry Systems include a receiver tray, complimentary implantable sensor(s), and Faraday cage to collect data from an animal housed in industry-standard caging; Epoch sensors amplify and wirelessly transmit up to 6 channels of data. This video shows hardware connections for Epoch Receiver base to MP200 Data Acquisition Unit, plus Faraday cage; setup is similar for other BIOPAC systems or 3rd-party DAQ.

There are different ways in which we can record swallowing with the MP system. In this demonstration, we record swallowing, talking, and drinking with a BioNomadix EMG transmitter and a TSD110 pressure pad. The TSD110 is a minimally invasive and easy to deploy solution, making it much easier when collecting data from infants and toddlers. BIOPAC also offers the TSD110-MRI for MRI settings. In the AcqKnowledge Software, we can see the data from the two EMG channels and the changes in the pressure pad data when deglutition, talking, and drinking occur.

You can do this completely wirelessly as well, using BN-DYNEMG. BIOPAC also offers accelerometers, such as the TSD109C3, as another method to gather data on deglutition.

You can download the data file and the participant video here: Swallowing Data (Log-in Required). You may need to reassociate the file and the video in AcqKnowledge.
