Psychophysiology and neurophysiology

The Biopac Student Lab Psychophysiology and Neurophysiology Core Discipline package is part of a complete, flexible teaching system that not only allows the study of the most widely studied responses in psychophysiology and neurophysiology, but also provides life science educators with an integrated system of hardware, software, and curriculum which increases student engagement and provides extensive instructor support–before, during, and after the lab. Dynamic experiments with students as subjects increase interest and retention. Basic lessons guide and prompt students. Promote student inquiry with advanced options or develop user-defined lessons and research projects. Extensive customization options, including the Curriculum Management System licensed feature, allow instructors an unprecedented level of control over lesson content and presentation.
