Brain Connectivity and Human Responses to Music: While it has been proven that people find music aesthetically appealing because of neural circuitry, it is unclear why individuals received different levels of enjoyment to different types of music. Researchers from Wesleyan University used a combination of survey data and behavioral and psychophysiological measures to try and understand […]

Virtual Reality Muscle Training in Stroke Patients: Muscle weakening of the lower extremities has a significant correlation with loss of balance and walking ability in stroke patients. Researchers at Sehan University studied the effect of a virtual reality-based eccentric training program on lower extremity muscle activation and balance for rehabilitation of stroke patients. BIOPAC’s EMG100C surface […]

Personal Identification: Researchers from Yonsei University recently performed a study testing the viability of using ECG signals for individual identification, much like a password or key. Their study investigated experiments that recorded ECG after exercise and estimated the recognition potential of these signals. ECG was measured from subjects using the BIOPAC MP150 data acquisition system […]

Ford ran an experiment in which it used fNIR devices to monitor individual’s driving performance. The drivers were then given a score and provided insights into how their driving could be improved, via an app. Ford ran the study for four months using 40 Ford Fiestas and encompassed various types of weather, time of day, and […]

The BIOPAC EDA webinar Part 1 (US version) “How to record great Electrodermal Activity data” recording has just been made available to view. In this exclusive webinar, which was held Thursday June 9, BIOPAC experts presented ways to record great electrodermal activity data and covered: Participant preparation Proper setup Common mistakes Identifying artifacts in the data and […]

Psychophysiological Indicators for Substance Abuse in Preschoolers: Children’s development of emotional regulation is seen as an extremely crucial part in their development of social behavior. Researchers from the University of Oregon hypothesized that children whom have faced high levels of adversity, and would thus have low emotional regulation, would help identify physiological markers that could indicate […]

Changes in Blood Oxygenation as a function of perfectionism, mental health, and cognitive performance was the topic of Michael Lynch’s poster presentation at the Association for Psychological Science Annual Conference 2016. The presentation reviews their study to identify possible determinants of activity in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex for perfectionist tendencies, symptoms characteristics for mental health, and cognitive performance. fNIR […]

Premier universities world-wide overwhelmingly rely on BIOPAC systems. Over 99% of the top 100 universities in the world and in the United States rely on BIOPAC systems for their life science research and teaching system needs.* These institutions utilize BIOPAC research systems for life science research or the Biopac Student Lab (BSL) to meet their […]

BIOPAC, the world’s leader in life science data recording, is hosting the 2nd part of the US version of our free webinar on obtaining great Electrodermal Activity (EDA) data on June 23rd, 2016 at 8am PDT.  This webinar is for US individuals who were unable to attend the previous European version and will focus on demonstrating […]

 Acupuncture and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Researchers from University of Porto aimed to get results of the effect of acupuncture, as a treatment to Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) condition, and examine the benefits on the strength and nerve conduction improvements. To measure the nerve conduction and strength they used BIOPAC UIM100 module connected to a BIOPAC MP system with a […]
