point Interfacing the ViewPoint Eyetracker with g.USBamp Highspeed

 

For many research experiments it is interesting and essential to acquire beside biosignal data also eye movements of one or both eyes. This is especially useful for usability investigations, for Virtual Reality, for physiological tests and many other applications. g.tec developed therefore the g.EYEtracking Interface for Simulink that allows to acquire eye-movements directly in Simulink together with biosignals.

point Fetale ECG

 

Advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract the fetal ECG from ECG derivations placed on the mother. The example shows the application of ICA for this task.

s g.CNAPmonitor - continuous non-invasive blood pressure

 

The g.CNAPmonitor™ offers non-invasive blood pressure measurements as stand alone device or in connection with the g.tec biosignal amplifiers. Continuous blood pressure information as known from invasive measurement is now available to all medical disciplines and expands the usage of truly continuous  blood pressure measurement to areas where it has not been available due to costs, complication risks or environmental circumstances.

s BCI2000 supports NOW g.MOBIlab+ the wireless biosignal amplifier

 

BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for BCI research and development. It can be used for other data acquisition and stimulus presentation purposes. It has been used to replicate or extend current BCI methods in humans, and has recently been used in a number of groundbreaking BCI studies. The system is available free of charge for research purposes to academic and educational institutions
