Neurologgers of the second generation were designed to record a large set of biological variables (up to 4 analog channels) in their large integrated memory (1 GB or, 2 GB), having size and weight suitable for attachment to a head of a mouse or a back of a zebra finch (small song bird weighing 14-17 g). The minimal weight of recording module including two ZA5 35 mAh batteries is 1.3 g, the size is 22×15×5 mm.
3-D accelerometer Connector for |
4 neurophysiological channels with sampling rate up to 20 kHz for EEG, ECG, EOG, EMG, LFPs and neuronal activity. 3-D accelerometer Infrared (IR) synchronization with external equipment. The recorder weight in the most complete configuration is 1.71 g + ~1 g typical battery weight makes total weight 2.71 g. The battery holder can add 0.63 g. |
Neurologger with 3D accelerometer, 3D gyroscope and
3D magnetometer for Built-in IR receiver is used not only for synchronization with external erquipment, |
Only 3-D accelerometer, 256 MB memory, weight 1.28 g |
The lightest version: electrodes are soldered directly to the board, clip connector for data downloading, 1 GB, weight 0.95 g |
The same as before but with the connector for the electrodes, weight 1.05 g |
Micro board with 3-D accelerometer is added, weight of recording combination 1.61 g |
Water-proof ECG recorder for marine birds IR receiver is replaced by magnetic sensor. Putting permanent magnet in the vicinity of the sensor creates a label in the logger record. Memory 1 GB, rechargeable battery 3.7V, 240 mAh. The battery is sufficient for 4 days. Total weight of encapsulated logger 20 g. |
Neurologger 2A can record:
Neurologger can be implanted to record brain activity, for instance, in large ruminants, or it can be placed in a rigid protective waterproof casing to record in marine environments. Just ask! |
