SyncBox

SyncBox is a must-have solution to boost data quality for concurrent EEG and fMRI recordings

The Syncbox is a unique tool which significantly reduces timing related errors and boosts the quality of MRI artifact correction by synchronizing the clock of the BrainAmp MR / BrainAmp MR plus amplifier with the clock driving the MRI scanner’s gradient switching system.

The SyncBox is essential to recording high quality EEG data in the MR environment and is it compatible with all major commercial MRI scanners available on the market.

Synchronizes the clock of BrainAmp MR amplifiers with the master clock driving the MRI scanner’s gradient system
Significantly reduces timing related errors and boosts the quality of gradient artifact correction
SyncBox scanner interface and scanner clock output are physically connected (using galvanic coupling) to avoid potential influence on the MR scanner system
Seamless integration with BrainVision Recorder and Analyzer software by means of dedicated trigger codes and implemented algorithms

BrainVision RecView

Software for real-time data analyses

BrainVision RecView is an advanced solution designed for real-time analysis of data received over the Ethernet network via TCP-IP directly from BrainVision Recorder.

Widely used in the EEG/fMRI field to remove both the gradient and the ballistocardiogram artifact (permitting experimental control during the scan).
The “Template Drift Compensation” algorithm remedies template jitter caused by imperfect synchronization between the EEG amplifier and the scanner clocks and thus ensures optimal data correction at any time.
Uses the same history tree concept already implemented in BrainVision Analyzer
Can also be used for FFT analysis, data filtering, mapping of the surface potentials as well as BCI and bio-/neurofeedback on the incoming data.

EasyCap SIGGI-II

Signal Generator & Impedance Meter

SIGGI II is a laboratory tool for generating and measuring electrical signal parameters in the voltage range of typical biophysiological signals.

Functions:

The calibrated Signal Generator, issuing both built-in and recorded signals onto 1-32 channels (accompanied by a trigger signal), can be used to verify an amplifier‘s ability to correctly record amplitudes and frequencies, to visualize filter characteristics, to check linearity of DC amplifiers and to check Common Mode Rejection (CMR).

The Impedance Meter measures the impedance between 1-32 electrodes and their reference and ground electrodes. Special custom adaptors for any EEG-Recording Cap / electrode input box can be supplied. This is a comfortable way to measure impedances independent from the EEG amplifier or if there are reasons to doubt the impedance measurement routines built into the respective amplifier.

The Amplifier/Data Logger can record, amplify and store user specific signals and replay them with the Signal Generator.

The Electrode Tester measures the electrode potential of 1-32 electrodes and its changes for up to 6 hours. This unique tool is indispensable for assessing the suitability of individual electrodes for DC recordings.

BrainVision Recorder

BrainVision Recorder is a multifunctional, extremely versatile and easy-to-use software platform for recording setup and execution of all Brain Products amplifiers. The file format can be understood by a range of analysis products.

The hardware setup is simple and fast as the user is guided through the entire hardware setup and hardware/software filter configuration, even when selecting hardware filters on a channel-by-channel basis.

The acquired data can be displayed in multiple ways and the channel montages (original, bipolar and average) can be switched on the fly, to adjust the channel view to the specific experiment‘s needs.

The channel by channel impedance check is extremely simple. Each electrode is placed at the topographic position and its impedance value is displayed with a fully selectable color coding.

The acquisition parameters as well as the impedance check are automatically stored and can be accessed from within the analysis software at any time. A complete evoked potential analysis can be performed in real time directly in BrainVision Recorder and the segmented/averaged data can be stored together with the raw data. The BrainVision Recorder video module allows the capture of images of the experimental subject which are synchronized with the incoming EEG data. This can be reviewed in the analysis software frame by frame while leafing through the acquired data.

The incoming data can be sent out to the network via the TCP/IP protocol using the Remote Data Access module to the BrainVision RecView software (or any homemade software) for real time data analyses.

One of the most challenging aspects of NIRS is the cap. Since Brainsight is designed with multi-modality in mind, the design of the cap and optodes are even more important. Brainsight focused efforts on a flexible optode design that can be
simply used with other modalities including EEG, MRI, TMS and MEG.

The last piece of the puzzle is the cap. Brainsight’s optode design allows for flexibilty when seeking the best cap solution for any particular needs.

BrainAmp MR

The BrainAmp MR is a proven solution for simultaneous EEG/fMRI acquisitions.

The BrainAmp MR is a compact, modular MR compatible EEG amplifier consisting of 32 unipolar channels. Each 32 channel unit can be stacked to expand the number of channels up to 256 and combined with the BrainAmp ExG MR amplifier to record EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) and many other types of bipolar and auxiliary signals.The BrainAmp MR system is powered by the rechargeable battery PowerPack, and can be used for many applications including the EEG lab for EEG/TMS co-registrations, EEG/ERP studies and Brain Computer Interface applications.

The BrainAmp MR can be placed directly inside the MRI chamber and placed right behind the subject’s head. The signal from the amplifier is then sent via optic cable to the USB interface located in the control room. This reduces the length of electrical connections and minimizes MR gradient artifacts and RF signal induction. The short length required for the electrical cables used to connect the electrode cap with the amplifier complies with all safety requirements for the experimental subject and reduces the chance for cable movement artifacts.

CED 1902 Amplifier

The 1902 is a versatile modular unit designed to work with modern computer-controlled data acquisition systems. Developed for a broad range of applications, the 1902 accepts biological and instrumentation signals from a wide variety of sources.

It is available in single or multi channel configurations. Communication with the computer is achieved through a serial line, allowing multiple sets of units to be controlled simultaneously.

Software controllable features

Programmable gain with readback
Dynamically controlled 12-bit offset
AC/DC coupling
Selectable high and low pass filter settings
Selectable mains notch filter
Optional input clamping

A major advantage of programmable amplifiers is the degree of interaction between the signal conditioner and the application software recording the data. The 1902 is directly controlled through the CED data acquisition and analysis programs Spike2 and Signal, or through a stand-alone control application.

Each 1902 is a single channel modular unit, but they can be combined into
stacks to give multiple channels or supplied as dual or quad channel variants
with optional rack-mounting. Multiple stacks, dual or quad channel units can
then be ‘daisy-chained’ together to give the number of channels required.
