More Info...

The Pendant EEG is a wireless 2 channel bio-potential amplifier. It has an adjustable upper frequency of 40/48/56Hz and a low frequency of 1.6Hz (hi gain) and 0.1 Hz (lo gain), making it suitable for eeg, ekg/hrv, scp and Othmer ORF modalities. For example, the unit can do Ch1 EEG and Ch2 HRV. A Biofeedback software application is also required (some designs are included in the accompanying CD). It is powered by a single AAA battery supplied.

The Pendant EEG should not be used with gold (plated) electrodes - pure silver, tin or Ag-AgCl electrodes only.

 

 

Pendant pIR Pod
Price: US$595

Quantity

More Info...
The Pendant HEG pIR ("passive infra red") reads the signal generated by the Jeff Carmen pIR headband and sends it wirelessly to a PC. The pIR headband measures brain metabolism (heat) in a particular IR band. The Pendant pIR can also read thermocouple-type sensors to measure skin temperature. A Biofeedback software application is also required (some designs are included in the accompanying CD). The Pendant is powered by a 9V rechargeable battery supplied.

More Info...

Haleys Anime

The Pocket A3 is a 4 channel wireless and standalone bio-potential amplifier. It supports 2 channel EEG (with EMG artefact detection), pIR HEG and nIR HEG, all concurrently. As a standalone device it can provide feedback thru tones and chimes to headphones or thru some simple screen displays like 'pong'. As a wireless device it can provide bio-potential signals to biofeedback software applications (some designs are included in the accompanying CD). The unit also supports binaural beats. It is powered by 2 AA batteries supplied.

The Pocket A3 should not be used with gold (plated) electrodes - use pure silver, tin or Ag-AgCl electrodes only.

More Info...

BioEra Scr

BioEra is a java-based visual designer for analyzing bio-signals in real time. It can be used with any bio-feedback device that has ability to send bio data to computer. BioEra provides highest performance, flexibility and options not found in any other software. It can process dozens of channels simultaneously in real time, many types of biofeedback devices can be operated together all in the same time.
Single design with 1000 elements and 3D display can utilize as little as 2% of the processor (tested on Pentium 4, 2.4GHz).

HEG pIR Headband
Price: US$495

Quantity

More Info...

The pIR ("passive infra red") HEG (hemo-encephalography) headband measures brain metabolism (heat) in a particular IR band in accordance with Jeff Carmen's original design. In general, increasing temperature equates to increasing mental activation. It is mostly used centrally (Fpz in the 10-20 system).

 

 

HEG nIR Headband
Price: US$495

Wireless Dongle
Price: $29.00

Quantity

More Info...

Dongle

The wireless dongle is required by the PC to receive the wireless signal from the Pendant or Pocket. A wireless dongle is included with all pods. This item is for replacement of a broken or lost dongle. The PC operating system sees each dongle as a unique device, so a new driver is to be installed with each new dongle. If you have more than one Pendant or Pocket, only one dongle is required unless you wish to operate both devices concurrently. There are 8 wireless channels possible, so up to 8 Pendants or Pockets can be operated in the same room.

The Windows driver for the dongle can be found on the CD which accompanied the pod, or it can be downloaded from the "drivers" tab on this site.

 

 

Skin Temp. Sensor
Price: $29.00

Quantity

More Info...
K-type Thermocouple suitable for both the Pendant pIR and the Pocket A3 pIR headset socket. For use with training finger surface temperature.

 

 

Jumper/Link
Price: $29.00

Quantity

More Info...
This eeg electrode jumper is included in the electrode kits. This item for for replacement of lost jumpers. The jumper allows for two reference channels to be linked together. This is done typically when those references are the left and right earlobe- linking them together better approximates a passive or neutral reference.

 

 

TP adaptor for the Pocket A1
Price: $29.00

Quantity

More Info...
This "touch proof" adaptor is for the older Pocket A1 only. It allows the A1 to interface with indistry-standard electrodes. Not that the two reference electrodes are permanently connected together at the adaptor.
