Brain Amp Amplifiers

BrainAmp & BrainAmp DC

BrainAmp MR & BrainAmp MR plus

BrainAmp ExG

Brain Amp amplifiers are offered in various configurations for recording Standard EEG, DC Signals, Recordings with MR and Recording of Bipolar and Auxiliary Signals, within our out side MR.

BrainAmp MR: Superior solution for combining EEG and fMRI. The extremely high data quality, ease of use, long lasting experience of our developers and the unparalleled scientific and technical support made the BrainAmp MR amplifier the first choice for researchers all over the world. Many scientific publications refer to EEG/fMRI coregistration studies performed with the BrainAmp MR systems.

BrainAmp ExG: Solution for bipolar and sensor data acquisitionThe simultaneous recording of EEG, bipolar as well as peripheral signals opens up new scenarios in the investigation of the mechanisms underlying for example emotional behavior. The BrainAmp ExG amplifier is a bipolar amplifier which can be used to record EMG, ECG, EOG and polygraphic channels such as GSR (Galvanic Skin Response), acceleration, temperature and blood pulse with an extremely compact design.

Other Amplifiers

Quick Amp - The most compact solution for neurophysiology research with simultaneous recording of EEG, bipolar and peripheral signals.

V-Amp - High performance on demand. The V-Amp is a valuable addition even for well-equipped laboratories. The V-Amp records a great variety of signals such as EEG, EOG, ECG, EMG and the full range of evoked potentials, including brainstem potentials.

FirstAmp: the Ultimate “First” Companion for teaching purposes with the BrainVision Analyzer Education or using the amplifier installed in the lab for training purposes,

The actiCHamp (active channel amplifier) is a 24-bit battery-supplied amplifier that can be used with 32, 64, 96, 128 and 160 EEG channels. Additional 8 AUX inputs are integrated in the basic module of the amplifier and can be used with a full range of biosignal sensors, such as GSR, respiration, acceleration, temp, blood pulse, etc.
Offers an amazingly high sampling rate (up to 100 KHz for 16 channels – 50 kHz for 32 channels) and wide hardware bandwidth (DC-20 kHz), the actiCHamp sets new standards.

The MOVE wireless system changes the entire concept of EEG research. Until now, subjects had to remain seated or lying down while they were physically connected to the amplifier. The MOVE system replaces the cables between the electrodes and the amplifier with wireless communication.
Paradigms which cannot be used with standard cabled EEG systems may now become part of everyday research, and normal experiments will become more convenient for the participants.

PowerMAG research - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulators

PowerMAG research - two models of stimulator

PowerMAG research 30
- no compromises at high frequencies: Maximum intensity (100% output) in the entire frequency range of up to 30 Hz.
PowerMAG research 100
- for theta burst stimulation: Bursts up to 100 Hz are applied with constant intensities by recharging between pulses.

Software

BrainVision Analyzer 2 - Market leading complete EEG & ERP processing software with 10 years on the market and in use by more than 1.000 labs all
over the world. Its unique history tree structure for analysis and powerful features with MATLAB ® integration, Wavelet analysis, ICA and many more makes it the perfect tool for analyzing data from nearly any EEG amplifier available on the market.

BrainVision Recorder - The BrainVision Recorder controls all of our amplifiers, displays and saves the incoming data. Various options such as
online averaging or video integration are available. Direct output of incoming data to the network via TCPIP protocol makes the Recorder a BCI realtime-server.

BrainVision RecView - Structured like our analysis software, BrainVision RecView lets you combine several transformations by drag & drop for online
processing like MRI gradient and pulse correction, online FFT or Biofeedback calculations.

Electrode Caps

Every application needs an optimized way to collect data. To accommodate this needs various types of electrode caps like active or passive caps, shielded or non-magnetic caps for several applications like fMRI, TMS, MEG etc. are available.

actiCAP* - Electrode Cap with active electrodes minimizing preparation time and reducing environmental noise as well as movement artifacts to a minimum. Integrated three color impedance indicators directly on the electrode and software controlled supportive features simplify system setup. Compatible with all Brain Products amplifiers as well as with various other available EEG systems.

BrainCap - High quality Ag/AgCl ring electrodes for highest research demands including DC recordings. All electrodes are positioned in standard positions or according to individual requirements. Flat adapters ensure great wearing comfort. Ring electrodes allow direct access to the scap and thus painless impedance minimization.

BrainCap MR - fMRI compatible electrode cap. Based on our many years of experience, the new version of the BrainCap MR has been modified to be even more comfortable in scanner environments. Additional safety features have been implemented. Built-in resistors as well as protective tubing around long wires make it the safest cap for combined EEG & fMRI recordings. EasyCap - Modular recording cap equipped with electrode holders at standard or individual positions and ring electrodes. Ag/AgCl electrodes are at highest quality for every type of eeg recording including DC measurements. To be used for high end research applications as well as the ideal teaching cap.
