NeuroLogger is a truly unique and elegant solution for wireless recording of EEG activity in animals as small as mice. The NeuroLogger can be used in freely moving animals performing a variety of behavioral paradigms as well as in the field of animal models for epilepsy and sleep disorders.

The NeuroLogger can be easily used in combination with behavioral and metabolic analysis systems such as the PhenoMaster / LabMaster.


NeuroLogger from NewBehavior

General features

  • Small size and lightweight: less stress for animals

  • No tangling of wires or transmission frequency interferences

  • Complete EEG recording device with 4 channels

  • Pre-amplifiers and raw data storage plugs directly into an electrode connector on the head of the animal

  • Plug in – record – plug-out – download and analyze

  • Recording from home cage or in test boxes of any complexity

  • Recording from multiple animals in social settings

  • Wireless synchronization with trigger signals for precise analysis

  • Built-in movement sensor measuring whether animal rests or walks

  • Timing signals for matching with external events can be added

  • Sleep state analysis (REM, non REM)

Applications

  • Screening for sleep disorders and epilepsy in large samples of mice
  • Analysis of evoked and event-related field potentials
  • Selective attention and hippocampal activity
  • Monitoring drug effects
  • ...and much more, depending on your creativity!

Comparison to traditional EEG measurement devices

NeuroLogger vs. Telemetry
NeuroLogger vs. cabled systems
  • Animals can move both indoors or outdoors
  • Unlimited by distance
  • Avoids  implantation and exchange of bulky batteries
  • Avoids bulky and expensive receiver plates under cages
  • Circumvents electronic frequency problems: keep dozens of loggers in one room
  • Recording from multiple animals in social settings
  • Wireless synchronization with trigger signals for precise analysis
  • Integrated movement sensor informs whether animal rests or walks
  • Add timing signals for matching with external events
  • Unrestricted animal movement due to absence of cables or wires
  • Unrestricted test arenas
  • Significantly reduced artifacts
  • Recording from home cage or in test boxes of any complexity
  • Allows simultaneous use of a video camera system to precisely track animal movements
