BrainAmp MR Plus

The BrainAmp MR plus enhances the already outstanding features of the BrainAmp MR. It offers both AC to DC mode acquisitions as well as extends the hardware bandwidth.

The BrainAmp MR Plus can be placed inside of the MRI chamber to achieve simultaneous EEG/fMRI acquisitions as well as used in the EEG lab for EEG/TMS co-registrations, EEG/ERP studies and Brain Computer Interface applications. There is no need for different amplifier types it offers a solution for many applications.

The BrainAmp MR plus is part of the compact and modular consisting of 32 channels, which can be combined and stacked up one on one to acquire up to 256 EEG channels. The BrainAmp MR system is powered by the rechargeable battery PowerPack, and can be used in many environments, even for outdoor recordings. The BrainAmp MR plus system can be 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.

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.
