Students use their own EMG/Physiological Signals in a Laboratory Course to learn the Peripheral Nervous System

Friday, February 20th, 2009

New, 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.
