Synchronize biosensors
Supports 50+ of the most commonly used biosensors
- Full integration and synchronization support for 50+ biosensors in human behavior research such as Eye Tracking, Facial Expression Analysis, Electrodermal Activity / Galvanic Skin Response, EEG, EMG, and ECG hardware.
- API and Lab Streaming Layer for additional sensor integration.
- Built-in survey tool to lessen bias and triangulate respondents’ stated answers with nonconscious psychophysiological responses from biosignals.
Remote Solutions
We offer two different solutions for remote testing
Online studies
Built upon our Desktop Solution, the Online Data Collection Module is a cost-effective approach that integrates fewer sensor technologies and less data depth, but one that can be deployed quickly and easily across the globe via a browser interface. Computer vision algorithms enable biometrics to be collected from a participant’s own webcam.
Benefits to Online studies:
- Demographics: Geography, ethnicity, gender – you can be as narrow or wide as the study warrants. Online studies also give access to participants that are otherwise not able to show up to a center facility e.g. due to disability, or people in positions with limited time (e.g. doctors).
- Speed: Turnaround time can decrease significantly since data is collected in parallel at hundreds of respondents’ homes.
- Sample size: The convenience of online testing allows you to scale your experiment to hundreds, if not thousands of respondents.
- Setting: A home-based study delivers a more natural environment than the lab. However, it requires more attention to respondent compliance, and a potential need to recruit larger than what the need would be in a controlled lab environment.
