point EEG, ECG and oxygen concentration changes from sea level to a simulated altitude of 4000 m and back to sea level

In order to describe how high altitude affects the body during a one night stay at 4000 m experiments were performed in a hypobaric chamber and compared to a study on Dachstein (mountain in Austria, 2700 m). EEG-, ECG-parameters, oxygen saturation, the Lake Louis Score were investigated and yielded supprising results.

Products

s g.ACTIVEelectrodes

 

g.tec developed an active electrode that contains a pre-amplifier in the famous screwable EEG electrode. The active electrode can be used with g.USBamp and g.MOBIlab+ and with the standard EEG caps. The active electrode helps to suppress power line interference, cable movement artifacts and reduces the assembling time.

s Performing place cell recording with g.AnTS and g.USBamp in rats

 

The newly developed tracking system g.AnTS allows to track the animals foraging path together with neural cell activity for off-line and real-time analysis of the data.

point Combine the g.tec amplifiers with the NOLDUS Observer XT

The Noldus Observer XT is the professional software package for the collection, analysis and presentation of observational data. Now you can run the Noldus Observer XT with the g.MOBIlab or g.USBamp.

point LabView support for g.USBamp

The g.LABVIEWsupport allows to acquire biosignals like EEG, EMG, EOG, ECoG, ECG with LabView VI. Therefore the g.USBamp VI block is copied into a LabView project and can be connected to any other available LABVIEW block for further signal processing...
