EyeLink Systems and Neuroscan Integration
Compumedics Neuroscan is dedicated to expanding knowledge and understanding of the human brain and nervous system through advanced technology. They are a leading provider of technologies for high-density EEG recordings and electro-magnetic source localization. Integrating Neuroscan EEG hardware with EyeLink systems is very straightforward. Integration is achieved via standard TTL signaling, typically via a parallel port on the Display PC (although the parallel port of the EyeLink Host PC can also be used). The only other component required is a Trigger Cable (supplied by Neuroscan).
Experiment Builder and Neuroscan Integration
Version 2.2 of SR Research Experiment Builder software has dedicated nodes that simplify integrating Neuroscan EEG systems with EyeLink systems.
The Biometric TTL Node allows users to:
- Start and Stop Recording (if using Curry software for acquisition)
- Mark the beginning and end of the trial
- Send event markers (e.g. to mark stimulus / response onsets)
EyeLink and Neuroscan Integration Detail
- During task performance, the stimulus presentation software (e.g., Experiment Builder, E-Prime, Presentation, PsychToolBox, etc.) simultaneously sends TTLs signals to the NeuroScan equipment via a parallel port cable, and messages to the EyeLink Host PC via an ethernet link.
- The TTLs / Messages mark key trial events (such as stimulus onset / participant response etc), allowing the two data streams to be synchronized at the analysis stage.
- If neither the Display PC or Host PC has a parallel port, then a device such as the USB2TTL8 can be used.
