Libraries in 2020: From Curbside Pickup to Practical Lab Kits
Libraries can support remote students with distance learning tools like BSL Home practical lab kits, accessible wifi or hotspot loaners, and more.
Navigating fMRI Data Collection
fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a widely-used noninvasive method for characterizing central nervous system function. But how does fMRI differ from MRI? While fMRI scans use the same basic principles as MRI scans, an MRI generates images of the...
Top 10 Objections to Distance Learning
By: Jasmine Anderson, Biopac Student Lab Product Manager Simulations are not enough. Students need a practical hands-on lab experience with room to make mistakes. Internet is not reliable for students or the instructors and reading material alone does not lend to...
Don’t Let COVID-19 Lock Down Your Labs
By: Jasmine Anderson, Biopac Student Lab Product Manager The COVID-19 pandemic turned higher education upside-down when stay-at-home orders forced educational institutions to shift to distance learning this Spring. In hindsight, no one could have predicted what 2020...
VR—New Worlds to Explore
Use VR to Expand the Capabilities of Your Lab The immersive technology of virtual reality (VR) literally offers whole new worlds to explore. Combining VR/Immersive Solutions with Physiology Data allows researchers to create virtual worlds that are impossible or...
Answering the challenge of COVID-19
There is no sugarcoating it—we are in some very serious times—and will remain so for the foreseeable future. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only captured the focus of the entire world community, it has illuminated shortcomings in the supply chains required for coping...
The Eyes Have It—Mobile Eye Tracking
Eye tracking has been a consistent player in the physiological research field for a number of years, and more recently a “mobile” variation of this technology has become increasingly widespread. But just what is mobile eye tracking and how does it work?...
Top Signals for Life Science Instruction
Experience has shown that beginning physiology students are more engaged when acquiring and viewing signals from their own (or a lab partner’s) bodies in real time, particularly signals that are noninvasive to capture and easy to acquire. Watching a waveform trace...
