Mobile biosignal acquisition and processing on the Pocket PC, PC or notebook.

g.MOBIlab+
multi-purpose biosignal acquisition

g.MOBIlab+ - g.tec's portable biosignal acquisition and analysis system - is the perfect tool for recording multimodal biosignal data on a standard Pocket PC, PC or notebook. This allows to investigate brain-, heart-, muscle-activity, eye movement, respiration, galvanic skin response, pulse and other body signals.

g.MOBIlab+ comes with 4 EEG/EOG, 2 ECG/EMG channels and 2 analog inputs which can be utilized for other sensors and 4 digital channels. A switch can be connected for external triggering of the data.

Optionally the device can also be equipped with 8 monopolar EEG channels and 4 digital channels.

The g.MOBIlab can be combined with the g.EEGcap & the g.GAMMAcap and there is a huge range of possible electrodes.

g.MOBIlab+ is fully battery supplied and operates up to 170 hours (i.e. about 1 week). The device works with a standard serial interface or USB interface of your computer.

g.MOBIlab+Wireless+Flash

g.MOBIlab+ now provides two additional features improving the system's mobility and opening new fields of application.

Wireless data transfer to your Pocket PC, notebook or desktop PC with Bluetooth "class I" technology. Monitor biosignals under every imaginable experimental condition.

Use g.MOBIlab+ as a powerful biosignal data logger. After visually checking data quality on the screen, the device can be disconnected from the computer and data are stored on a flash memory card with up to 2 GB space.

Available software components

For g.MOBIlab+ 5 different software components are available:

g.MOBIlab+'s recording software (g.Recorder)
Allows the visualization and data storage of biosignal data. The software is fully based on graphical user interfaces and is easy to use. The software supports all features of g.MOBIlab+. READ MORE

g.MOBIlab+ High-Speed Online Processing under SIMULINK
enables real-time biosignal processing and recording with maximum system speed under the SIMULINK environment. Hence advanced digital signal processing steps can easily be integrated with graphical SIMULINK blocks. The simplest program requires connecting 3 SIMULINK blocks via drag and drop. The toolbox is used for the setup of biofeedback, neurofeedback and brain-computer interface systems. READ MORE

API/device driver package
For developers an application programming interface (API) is available for the Pocket PC, PC or notebook. Hence programmers and system developers can rely on the amplifier realizing their own sophisticated data acquisition and processing software almost under any programming language. READ MORE

Device driver for the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox (MATLAB API)
g.MOBIlab+ can be directly programmed via the g.MOBIlab+ MATLAB API which is based on the MATLAB Data Acquisition Toolbox. The toolbox gives full access to the recording buffer and to the DAQ functionality and allows the quick and easy implementation of the data visualization, processing and storage applications under MATLAB.

Important information

g.MOBIlab+ is not a medical device. The product is NOT intended to be used as a medical device. However, the product meets the IEC 60601-1 standard as it is a more rigorous standard than other standards.

During an Austrian expedition to Chulu Far West in Nepal (6419 m) g.MOBIlab+ was used to measure the effect of high altitude on the EEG and ECG parameters. The expedition started in Besi Sahar at an altitude of 700 m near Annapurna I. The team gained each day a height between 300 and 600 m and settled basecamp at 4800 m. After one night in BC the highcamp was established in 5600 m on the Chulu glacier. At 3 p.m. in the morning the team started to climb Chulu Far West (right picture) and reached the summit at 11 a.m. g.MOBIlab+ was used to record 2 EEG channels over the sensorimotor areas and 1 ECG channel of 2 expedition members. The persons performed a self-paced finger movement every 10 seconds.The on-set and off-set of the movement was recorded by an external switch connected to g.MOBIlab. READ MORE

At the 2003 Nordic Fitness Days at the Dachstein glacier organized by the Planaibahnen from October 24th-26th g.MOBIlab+ was tested in measuring EEG and ECG data of skiers and mountaineers going up the Dachstein summit with the cable car. The study was part of the research program of the ARGE Alpinmed. A total of 50 data sets were acquired within 3 days. Data recordings started at a base station in 1200 m. Then physiological data of subjects were measured in the cable car and at the top station in 2700 m. The subjects had to perform a stimulus-reaction paradigm in order to test the reliability of g.MOBIlab+ under bad weather and field conditions. In all 50 sessions data quality was excellent and even EEG data displayed high signal-to-noise ratio.
The g.MOBIlab+ system was rated excellent by the participants both for easy handling, high data quality and reliability for performing physiological measurements with experimental paradigms.

Excellent data quality

g.MOBIlab+ is equipped with low-noise biosignal amplifiers and a 16-bit A/D converter (256 Hz) which guarantees excellent data quality and a high signal-to-noise ratio. For sophisticated data analyses g.MOBIlab-data can be imported directly into g.BSanalyze, the toolbox for advanced biosignal processing and analyses.

Data can also be converted into ASCII-format for other programs like MS-Excel or foreign toolboxes.
