EEG and EMG System

The Ideal Recording System for Sleep, Epilepsy, and More

Overview

Most sleep and epilepsy studies focus of EEG and EMG to monitor state of vigilance and detect seizures. These studies can also require chronic continuous recordings for long durations to capture sleep cycles and other global behavioral states. TDT has developed the perfect recording setup for these conditions with the iConZ + iA8 or iConZ + iA4.

Starting points our application scientists recommend. Every setup can be changed or expanded; tell us about your experiment and we will adapt it.

Most Chosen

Rodent Sleep + Epilepsy

An 8-channel recording system with a large +/-500 mV input range to capture full-scale seizure events without signal saturation, even during stimulation. DC-coupling also allows for recording of spreading depression events or ultra slow-waves. The iA8 is ideal for freely moving subjects that need connection to a commutator. The iV1 provides time-locked video for behavioral seizure scoring and the iL24 can be used for third party TTL synchronization.

Three Subject Ephys and Operant Box

A six module iConZ-6 with three iA8s and three iH8s for maximized subject recordings on operant chambers. Each iA8 connects to a subject with its own isolated ground and reference. Each iH8 can connect to common operant boxes (like Med Associates) to control levers, house lights, LEDs, and more without needing third-party programming.

Synapse ABR System

A sophisticated ABR system for use in Synapse. The iA4 is well-suited for needle electrode connections, and the iM5 + iQ2 are the perfect combination for sound stimulation and calibration. The iL24 can connect to external devices such as lasers or imaging equipment for TTL synchronization.

Distilled Engineering for EEG and EMG Recordings

Amplifiers Made for This

TDT Engineers saw the need for an easy-to-use amplifier to acquire low-impedance electrode signals like EEG, EMG, ECG, and more. The iA8 connects to commercial headmounts like Pinnacle and can be configured in a referential, single-ended, or true differential setup. The iA4 is perfect for touch-proof connectors and each channel pair can be wired to your liking.

The iA8 has a +/- 500 mV well-equipped to handle seizure envelopes and motion artifacts without saturation and has true DC-coupling capabilities.

The iA4 has on board easy impedance checking and can be used in a variety of experimental setups.

 

Continuous Recordings for Every Study

Chronic Free Behavior

EEG and EMG systems are often freely behaving in rodent subjects and require continuous recordings without electrode wires tangling.

Any EEG and EMG system you buy can be easily configured with a TDT commutator to ensure clean, unimpeded subject activity.

The iA4 and iA8 ephys amplifiers are just one piece of the perfect EEG + EMG recording system. Our iCon platform lets users create customized systems to mix-and-match ephys, photometry, auditory, behavior, electrical stim, and more.

All the signals are synchronized and available together. TDT’s iCon is the only system that can do this.

Why TDT?

When you choose a TDT behavioral neuroscience recording system you choose legacy, innovation, and commitment. Every system is designed and assembled at our headquarters in Alachua, Florida by our long-time employees.
