Designed by Scientists for Scientists Startle Reflex Testing sr-lab™ startle response Over 20 years of use in scientific research and more published studies than any other startle system Features & Benefits »» Supports all startle paradigms including startle habituation, pre-pulse and cross-modal inhibition, fear potentiated startle, trace conditioning and gap detection »» Configure up to 16 test stations for rapid testing of large subject groups »» Easy to use software controls all test paradigms »» Plug-in kits for shock, puretone, airpuff and light stimuli »» Results are reported in millivolts, which is a direct read and not a derived figure such as Newtons »» 5 standard animal enclosures with custom styles available »» Analysis module to review scored data, raw data and export data product overview The SR-LAB™ Startle Response System – the world’s most widely used system for startle reflex measurement and by far the most successful for fear potentiated startle and pre-pulse inhibition testing. SR-LAB provides a complete hardware and software solution for a wide variety of startle applications. The system can be configured with up to 16 stations for testing large subject groups. Intuitive yet powerful features cater to users from the educated non-specialist to the sophisticated behaviorist. SR-LAB takes full advantage of the Windows® operating system with data organization and management software that combines power and flexibility with ease of use. SR-LAB software controls virtually any combination of tones, noise bursts, lights, air puffs, background noise and foot shock options. Flexible data organization and management software provides the SR-LAB 1 ability to configure multiple test stations, allowing rapid testing of a large number of subjects. Importantly, SR-LAB supports multiple test paradigms without requiring costly add-on kits or additional software. “The SR-LAB Startle Response System from SDI has worked for us for many years, both as a measure of acoustic startle and pre-pulse inhibition.” Eastern U.S.

SR-LAB Software Features test execution test preparation Trial Definitions: You can define a trial to meet your specific needs. Each command in a trial is selectable by checking a button and entering any parameter values. Choose Add, Insert, Edit or Delete to complete the entry of a command. You can control the start time and the duration of each command in the trial. All Trial Definitions can be saved and reused. Diagnostics/Audio Calibration: You can observe response channel integrity and calibrate acoustic stimulus amplitudes directly from the Oscilloscope mode reducing the preparation...
