At BIOPAC, we’re dedicated to enabling greater discovery. There are only a few things that make us more proud than seeing our research tools being used to help teach others. Researchers and educators alike will be interested in the informative mri-q.com website, where our products are being used as examples to inform readers about MRI […]

Acting to support researchers affiliated with UC Santa Barbara’s Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, BIOPAC developed a specialized Noninvasive Cardiac Output amplifier module designed for operation in an MRI. The team successfully captured and analyzed impedance cardiography (ICG) from a subject during fMRI. Titled “Simultaneous acquisition of functional magnetic resonance images and impedance cardiography,” […]

In a study aimed at establishing the utility of EEG-based measures of workload, Dr. Lee Sciarini used the B-Alert X10 Wireless EEG to evaluate the sensitivity of the Cognitive Workload metric. Sciarini, a researcher at the US Naval Post-Graduate School, administered subjects the Stroop test, a widely used assessment of attention-related performance with interference. Sciarini's […]

Football season is in full swing as millions of people gather to watch and celebrate one of America’s favorite pastimes. Along with the familiar storylines that surround the sport’s season (wins and losses, rivalries, etc.) one news item continues to be a major talking point: the increased concern over player safety. Players of all ages […]

Live data including raw EDA (top line), raw EMG (third line), and filtered EMG (last line) in AcqKnowledge  BIOPAC Systems products were recently used for neurophysiological mapping on a human subject inside a 7T scanner for a study at Auburn University. The study was also coauthored by two of our own BIOPAC members, Ken Graap […]

Students learn impedance cardiography techniques by recording data from their own bodies with a BSL System and Impedance Cardiography Lesson H21. The guided procedure begins with an extensively updated introduction that covers Cardiac Output as a Function of Stroke Volume and Heart Rate, Cardiac Output as Related to Mean Arterial Pressure and Peripheral Resistance, How to […]
