for Custom Neuroscience Experiments
The Explorer line offers four distinct families of Front Ends to provide ideal recording and stimulation capabilities for any modality. Designed with optimal technical specifications for each recording modality in mind, the four families are the EEG, the Macro, the Micro2, and the Physio. Mix and match Front Ends on the same processor to increase the number of recording channels and record additional physiological signals.
EEG and EEG+tES
Designed with EEG specifically in mind, the EEG family of Front End can be used with nearly any non-invasive surface electrode and is ideal for surface recordings that do not require bipolar or true-differential referencing. For stimulation, the EEG+tES Front End can deliver transcranial (tES), transcutaneous nerve (TENS), or spinal stimulation (TSS) through the same surface electrodes used during recording.
Macro and Macro+Stim
The Macro family of Front Ends was designed to easily connect to standard clinical invasive electrodes. Recording specifications are optimized for applications such as high-resolution ECoG or sEEG. The Macro+Stim Front End features a maximum stimulation current that matches common clinical stimulators, while incorporating novel safety features to prevent excessive discharge.
Micro2 and Micro2+Stim
Ideal for high-resolution, invasive recordings, the Micro2 family of Front Ends is optimized for use with high-impedance microelectrodes and can record single-units. Stimulate and record on all 32 channels simultaneously with the Micro2+Stim for unparalleled stimulation capabilities.
Physio and PhysioD
The Physio family of Front Ends was designed specifically for electromyography. Perform shared reference or true-differential recordings with the 32-channel Physio or the 16-channel PhysioD. Both variations feature technical specifications that are ideal for any type of electrophysiology from the body, such as ECG or non-invasive peripheral nerve recordings.
