The Explorer Summit

Multi-modal powerful electrophysiology in a lightweight and portable package

Ripple Neuromed’s Summit processor provides up to 512 channels of simultaneous recording and stimulation that can fit in the palm of your hand.

A truly modular system, the Summit can record multi-modal electrophysiological signals of uncompromising quality with specialized Front Ends. On-board processing and advanced APIs provides the flexibility for any application. Easily setup in minutes, the Summit can quickly transition between the laboratory and the operating room.

With game-changing versatility, the Summit processor can be used in the lab and the operating room as a stand-alone system or to complement existing clinical systems in the epilepsy monitoring unit. Compatible with both high impedance microelectrodes and standard clinical electrodes, you can record a full range of physiological data with one processor.

With wireless data transmission, integrated battery, and internal data storage, the Summit processor is a portable platform for advanced neurophysiology, neuromodulation, neuroprosthesis development, and brain machine interface experiments.

Choose front ends by electrode type and application

Micro series

Built for microelectrodes: high-density intracortical arrays such as Utah arrays, micro-macro sEEG leads such as Behnke-Fried electrodes, and other high-impedance electrodes where small input signals need to be recorded or low-output stimulation delivered.

Macro series

Built for macroelectrodes: low-density electrodes such as surface EEG, implanted EEG or sEEG, ECoG and EMG. A large input range records slower signals across a wide variety of signal types and applications, and the Macro2+stim stimulates from 1µA to 15mA.

Differential recording

For applications that require differential channels. Often used for EMG, the PhysioD records 16 true-differential channels for EMG, ECG, respiration and other bio-signals.
