Necessary Equipment for Assembling a New EEG Lab

Post by weilam »

I'm putting together an EEG lab at small liberal arts college, and I wanted to make sure I had everything I needed in order to be successful. I'm looking to use 32 channels to primarily look at spectral and coherence measures. In addition to the following items, is there anything I'm missing in order to assemble an EEG lab? Additionally, is there anything here you would suggest isn't necessary?

AD-Box Version7.0
2 x Battery box
Charger
Fiber 10 meters
USB2.0 receiver
USB2.0 cables
Carrying suitcase and cable rack
CAP L32
CAP M32
CAP S32
CAP STRAP 5"
CAP STRAP 7"
P32 1020 32A
2 Computers for presentation and data collection
LabView
Matlab
Syringes
Signal gel
Adhesive disks
Presentation cable for Eprime

The first 7 items are bundled as "Base System" (EUR 11,000), see https://www.biosemi.com/faq/prices.htm

Missing from the list are the "Amplifier/ADC" modules (EUR 1600 per 8-channel module). For 32 channels, you will need 4 modules. Most users add one more module for flat-type electrodes for EOG/EMG/ECG, see https://www.biosemi.com/flat_electrode.htm

A LabVIEW license is only necessary if you intend to modify and extend the open-source acquisition software. The (free) acquisition software runs with a (free) LabVIEW Run-Time-Engine, see https://www.biosemi.com/faq/need_labview.htm

I am about also to buy the same equipment. My questions might add some useful information to this topic.

1) In your website (https://www.biosemi.com/faq/prices.htm), you mentioned that the base system includes active electrodes. Are they Flat-Type Active-electrodes? How many of them will be included in the base system?

2) What are differences between P32-1020-32A and P32-1020-32ACMS? I intend also to create a small EEG lab with the 32 channels in Thailand. Which order code shall I choose?
