by Dr. Michael Schubert Product Manager (Brain Products) While we recommend to power supply BrainAmp systems with the dedicated battery (i.e. the PowerPack), we understand that there are cases in which power supply from mains can be the better option. Some examples In many labs, BrainAmp systems are used for teaching purposes, where groups of…
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. 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,…
Miscellaneous News CapTrak has been updated with USB 3.0 cameras CapTrak, our handheld electrode localization tool for actiCAP active electrodes, has been updated. This device works to detect the position of actiCAP electrodes via triangulation with two integrated cameras to give you fast, accurate and reliable localization of your actiCAP electrodes. We have recently replaced…
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.…
