Creating event markers with hardware triggers requires trigger codes. Designing codes for a specific study can be unintuitive and error prone. Here we provide you with a practical strategy to design trigger codes with a structured trigger plan. To help you to create a trigger plan, we introduce trigger2marker, a freely downloadable MATLAB® tool.
Check out Brain Products’ new account on the MATLAB® File Exchange. From now on, we will upload all the MATLAB®-based code for the various interactions between MATLAB® and our hardware- and software to this hub. In a first step, we have provided example code for the Remote Control Server 2 (RCS) and Remote Data Access (RDA). In addition, we uploaded the code mentioned in the "How to design trigger codes ..." article - published in this issue of our newsletter.
Are you an ERP researcher seeking to extend your analysis into the spectral domain? Are you new to EEG research and are looking for the best way to analyze your EEG data? This article intends to provide you with practical details which will help in making informed decisions when applying spectral analysis tools available in BrainVision Analyzer.
In this article we briefly introduce a brand-new collection of comprehensive support resources for those of you who are doing EEG-fNIRS research or are planning to do so.
Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) has some idiosyncrasies that are sometimes a bit difficult to deal with. For this reason, we collected our experience in troubleshooting some of the problems in a new support article.
In our last newsletter issue, we proudly introduced the new TriggerBox Plus. Now, we want to provide some more information on how this new and enhanced version of the TriggerBox changes the way you can interact with this device and how you can make the best use of its new features.
Acquiring video with EEG provides insights into the interplay between neurophysiological responses and behavior, commonly used in infant and child research, sleep research, epilepsy research, and mobile EEG applications. The Video Add In for BrainVision Analyzer 2 facilitates seamless parallel navigation of synchronously acquired video-EEG data.
Setting up an actiCAP slim/snap system in a nice and neat way has several benefits, including reducing preparation times as well as the risks of unintentional damages. With high density caps though, this process can appear challenging. In this article we provide our guidelines and tips on how to nicely prepare a 128-channel actiCAP snap cap with actiCAP slim electrodes that can be applied in any laboratory and setup.
In this part of our peripheral physiology series we briefly introduce our MR Sensor Tutorial. This new section of the well-known Sensor Tutorial will guide you through the correct and safe use of the most commonly used sensors for peripheral physiology measurements in MR scanners with static field strength up to 3 Tesla.
We strive to provide detailed safety and setup guidelines for performing simultaneous EEG-fMRI. This article explains factors related to the gradient magnetic field, which influence heating in the amplifiers and batteries during functional imaging. We also provide updated guidelines on how to protect the BrainAmp MR and Power Pack.
