Students use their own EMG/Physiological Signals in a Laboratory Course to learn the Peripheral Nervous System
Friday, February 20th, 2009New, innovative, affordable teaching tools are required to train a new generation of researchers for high-tech 21st Century jobs; creating new drugs and technologies to cope with an aging population and understand neurological diseases and processes. CleveLabs™, an innovative Neuroscience laboratory course with over 30 individual labs was developed to integrate wireless electrophysiology systems with a hands-on learning approach where the students can evaluate their own neurological signals.
Why you should consider CleveLabs:
- CleveLabs Laboratory Course System integrates innovative bioinstrumentation hardware and transducers with hands-on learning through interactive software that educates students on instrumentation, electrophysiology and clinical applications.
- Over 30 lab sessions are laid out in a concise, easy-to-follow format. Each lab includes background information, setup movies, data acquisition and real-time data analysis sections.
- CleveLabs allows Neuroscience programs to rapidly expand laboratories to accommodate larger incoming class sizes, with minimal staff training and without new facilities.
- A personal computer and the lab course kit are the only needed equipment, minimizing the requirements on the department. The compact, wireless system can turn any setting into a laboratory.
