by Dr. Stefania Geraci, Dr. Lena Beskers & Erik Gkaisarlidis Technical Support (Brain Products) Are you a user of the Brain Products active electrodes? Do you struggle to check whether your active electrodes are still fit for recording? Was it already suggested to perform a “saline test” but you are not sure on how to…
by Dr. Michael Schubert Product Manager (Brain Products) An increasing number of research applications require online access to EEG data streams. For example, when signal features of the EEG are used to trigger TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) pulses, or where algorithms in BCI (Brain Computer Interface) applications are used to provide immediate response. For these…
by Dr. David Schubring Scientific Consultant (Brain Products) Joining different labs to run the same study protocol has many advantages, e.g., including more participants from more diverse demographic and geographic backgrounds, comparing results between labs, benefiting from networking and knowledge transfer between colleagues, and ultimately a better generalizability of the results. On the other hand,…
by Recep Ozdemir, Emiliano Santarnecchi and Mouhsin M. Shafi Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston, MA (USA) This article walks users through the collection of neuro-navigated simultaneously obtained Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) evoked EEG (TMS-EEG) data to investigate network-specific TMS-induced EEG activations, as in Ozdemir et al. 2020, focusing…
by Dr. Robert Störmer Head of Technical Support (Brain Products) As soon as our active electrodes are used with our full band amplifiers, recording of clean EEG signals becomes as easy as pie. However, the acquisition of analog signals is only half the battle: The other half is the communication with the technical equipment involved.…
by Dr. Alex Kreilinger Strategic Product Manager (Brain Products) Brain Products has been a big supporter of LabStreamingLayer (LSL) right from the very beginning. Since then, LSL has become a well-established tool for the EEG research community and beyond. We at Brain Products want to continue and improve our support for this system. One important…
by Dr. Christina Florence Lavallée Strategic Product Manager (Brain Products) We are always carefully listening to the needs of researchers. In certain circumstances, the solution for some labs may be combining our hardware with third-party products. Brain Products and EasyCap strive to present options so that our customers have the freedom of choice when combining…
by Dr. David Medine Product Manager BCI (Brain Products) For many years, Brain Products has provided a number of opensource solutions for data access: PyCorder, SDKs for BrainAmp and V-Amp, and the RemoteControlClient. We also strive to maintain maximum compatibility with opensource BCI toolboxes such as OpenViBE, LabStreamingLayer (LSL), and BCI2000. In addition to this,…
by Dr. Christina Florence Lavallée Strategic Product Manager (Brain Products) After nearly 10 successful years on the market, we are saying goodbye to the actiCHamp. The actiCHamp, our first active amplifier, which hit the market in 2011, has served as the benchmark amplifier for many labs around the world. With the active electrode technology made…
by Dr. Michael Schubert Product Manager (Brain Products) We are constantly striving to improve our products for a better research experience. Our gel-based active electrode system is a great choice for high quality EEG recordings even under difficult recording scenarios. With the recent release of the actiCAP slim we made the active electrode* itself 3…
