INSIGHT Lab 

iMotions Research Platform

A central tool in the research laboratory, the iMotions software environment, enables the cooperation of several devices in studies. With the software, you can execute studies where the data obtained from devices is interpreted and analyzed seamlessly and simultaneously. The teaching and research opportunities provided by the software have raised the combination and analysis of different data sources to a whole new level. Read more on the manufacturer’s website

EEG headsets

INSIGHT Lab has two kinds of EEG headsets at the research laboratory. The EEG headsets of Neuroelectrics and OpenBCI enable the analysis of the brain functions of the research subject as a part of the studies. The electrical signals of the brain are studied with EEG, and the obtained data can be utilized in e.g., product development or usability testing. EEG headsets have opened a new dimension to research, and by utilizing different sources of data, we can obtain more information on research situations than ever before. Combining the headsets with other sensors enables increasingly fluent biometric measurements.

Patient monitor

The patient monitor is a portable multi-parameter unit that can measure and monitor several different values ​​from adults, children and newborn patients, as well as in the hospital environment as well as in the ambulance. The device can operate alone or connected to a hospital information system. The patient monitor can be used to measure blood pressure, take electrocardiogram, and monitor heart rate and oxygen saturation. There are two monitors in the laboratory, Ge Healthcare B125 and Philips Intellivue Mx100.
