BrainAmp ExG MR

Bipolar amplifier with unparalleled design for use in the MR environment

The increased interest in simultaneous EEG/fMRI recordings to investigate brain activity very quickly led to the need to also co-register other types of physiological data such as bipolar and peripheral signals. The BrainAmp ExG MR bridges this gap and makes the recording of bipolar and polygraphic signals in the MRI environment a simple procedure.

Exactly like all other amplifiers belonging to this product family, the BrainAmp ExG MR as well can be used inside the MRI chamber and placed right next to the subject. This allows to keep the length of the cables which are used as short as possible, thus ensuring highest data quality and fulfillment of all safety requirements.

The MR conditional auxiliary sensors (e.g. GSR MR Sensor, 3D Acceleration Sensor MR, Respiration Belt MR) offered by Brain Products are powered directly from the amplifier which guarantees patient safety and product portability.

BrainAmp ExG MR (16ch) can either be purchased as extension to the BrainAmp MR and BrainAmp MR plus, or as fully independent unit.
