A miniaturized threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger for recording burst movements of aquatic animals

A miniaturized threshold-triggered acceleration data-logger for recording burst movements of aquatic animals.

Although animal-borne accelerometers are effective tools for quantifying the kinematics of animal behaviors, quantifying the burst movements of small and agile aquatic animals remains challenging. To capture the details of burst movements, accelerometers need to sample at a very high frequency, which will inevitably shorten the recording duration or increase the device size. To overcome this pr...

Two-channel data logger for quantitative EEG recording while driving

-A hardware and software design and development is described for a two-channel portable recording device specifically to collect the electroencephalogram (EEG). The application intended for this device was collection of EEG data from drivers, while driving under controlled conditions on closed roads or circuits. The monitoring of driver reactions may lead to a better understanding of driving ab...

Short Communication a Method for Long-term Multiple-channel Recording of Oxygen Consumption in Aquatic Animals

The objective of the present work has been to develop a method for measuring the rate of oxygen consumption on a routine basis during toxicity testing and environmental monitoring. This requires a method that is reliable over long periods and can be used with a minimum of maintenance work in a variable environment. The system should consist of a compact unit easily transported and available at ...

A Volumeter for Respiration of Aquatic Animals

A new method for acquisition and analysis of single unit recording data

Single unit recording has been used as a well-known technique to study the electrical behavior of neurons. In this respect, the classical methods are rather expensive. In this study a simple and inexpensive method for single unit recording studies has been introduced. Computer sound card was used for data acquisition. Neural responses were saved via simple sound applicable packages and then ana...
