Decision Making & Brain Response to Stimuli

Real-time EEG analysis options allow you to understand the subject’s cognitive state and gauge their level of engagement, workload and drowsiness while performing a task, watching a presentation, or participating in a consumer test situation.

Physiological Responses, Stress & Arousal

Record and examine changes in ECG/Heart Rate, skin conductance level (EDA/GSR),respiration, facial EMG, and more to gather a wider range of biometrics to record and measure responses to specific stimuli.

Eye Tracking

Combine eye tracking data with other physiological variables to better understanding of the subject’s emotional response to certain types of stimulation…what are they really looking at when they have a certain physiological response.

Subject Monitoring

The entire experimental procedure is easily videoed (single or multi subject camera options) and fully synchronized with the physiological data so you will always know exactly what the subject was doing when you review the data.
