Bio Pac System

The BioPac is a system for the measurement of electrophysiological responses. The system in the Humanities Lab (MP150) is connected to modules for galvanic skin response (GSR100C), heart beat frequency (ECG100C), respiratory movement (RSP100C), and for the measurement of airflow (DA100C). The modules can be used individually and in combination with one another, and can also be synchronized with other types of measurement (e.g., eye tracking). Dedicated software (AcqKnowledge) for the collection and analysis of the signals is available. The system in the lab is connected to a computer running e-prime 3 for stimulus presentation in an experimental setup.
