EMG 1 investigates the properties of skeletal muscle. Students record the EMG data associated with the maximum clench strength for their dominant and non-dominant hand. The system records and displays both the raw and integrated EMG signals. Students compare clench strength from right to left hand and listen to the sound of their EMG. It is also possible for students to perform a cross-group analysis. Experimental Objectives • To record maximum clench strength for each hand. • To observe, record, and correlate motor unit recruitment with increased power of skeletal muscle contraction. •...

Tasks Performed by Students • Lift weight (bicep curl) and hold for 2 seconds. • Repeat cycles of weight lifting; add weight for each cycle until the Subject is lifting the maximum weight. • Lift the maximum weight to 45 degrees and hold it until the onset of fatigue. • Repeat the sequence for the non-dominant arm. • Optional: Listen to the sound of their biceps EMG. Key Features • Classic, clinical grid markings available for quick and easy evaluations. • Raw and Integrated EMG signals can be overlapped for easy interpretation of the data. • Students compare their dominant and non-dominant...

ECG 2 Electrocardiography: Einthoven's Triangle ECG 2 explains Einthoven's triangle. Students record Leads I and III while performing a number of tasks designed to change the rhythm of the heart. After recording, students analyze the data and estimate the mean QRS axis and potential. Experimental Objectives • To record ECG from Leads I and III in the following conditions: lying down, sitting up, and breathing deeply while sitting. • To compare the direction of the QRS complex (+ or -) with the direction of the lead axis. • To estimate the mean ventricular potential. • To estimate the mean...

Key Features • Alpha, beta, delta and theta EEG wave components are automatically filtered and displayed. • Notice how the wave relationships change on the basis of different mental tasks. • Overlap the EEG wave components for a better view of the data. EEG 2 Electroencephalography: Alpha Rhythms In EEG 2, students will discover how the brain constantly receives sensory input and integrates the information before processing it. Students record EEG data from the occipital lobe while performing a number of tasks. The system records and displays the raw EEG together with alpha wave and...

EOG 1 Electrooculogram: Fixation & Trackingeyes In EOG 1, students record horizontal eye movement and observe eye fixation and tracking. Students perform tasks that allow them to record the duration of saccades and fixation. Students also record spatial position of eye movements. Experimental Objectives • Record EOG on the horizontal plane and compare eye movements under the following conditions: pendulum tracking, pendulum simulation, reading silently, reading aloud, and reading challenging material or material written in an unfamiliar language. • Measure duration of saccades and fixation...

1 Watch heart rate monitor and mentally try to voluntarily increase sympathetic tone (increase heart rate display). 1 Watch two PowerPoint presentations and try to remain relaxed. Key Features • Great introduction to biofeedback techniques. • Shows students how they can influence and control the autonomic nervous system. • Excellent display format for immediate visual feedback. HEART & METABOLIC DEMANDS In the Aerobic Exercise Physiology lesson, students record ECG and heart rate under a variety of activity conditions. Students see how the electrical activity of the heart and their heart...

Reaction Time: Fixed & Pseudo-random Trials The Reaction Time lesson demonstrates the effect of learning and psycho-physiological processes on reaction times. Students hear two presentation schedules of clicks through a set of headphones. With electrodes in place to record the activity of the extensor digitorum (the primary muscle used to lift a finger), the Subject lifts a finger as quickly as possible after hearing a click. Students then perform a statistical analysis of the results, including: group mean, variance, and standard deviation. Experimental Objectives • Measure and compare...

CURRICULUM Tasks Performed by Students • Record EMG and respiration. • Breathe normally with mouth open. • Hyperventilate. • Recover from hyperventilation. • Hold breath. • Hyperventilate and then hold breath. Key Features • Great introduction to the respiratory effects of increased or decreased blood carbon dioxide content. • No special respiratory equipment required to run the lesson. • The lesson setup can record and allow students to study other respiratory variations. Content Standard Science Levels 9-12 A3 Unifying Concepts and Processes: Change, N N N N N N N N N N N Constancy, and...
