A great day at @SSERCofficial for their first Psychology experiments & data analysis for teachers course. Guided brain & eye dissection, reaction time exp’s & mapping mind and body with electrodes & the Spikerbox to analyse heart activity, facial EMG & eye blink! @StAndrewsCLPL

You're looking at a functioning myoelectric robotic prosthetic hand custom-built for a person born without left-hand fingers! The engineer: student Jorge Iglesias Costas from Barcelona, who made it using our EMG sensor from Human Spikerbox. Blog post coming soon!

What's in a name? This device was to be called "High Frequency Non-invasive Human Neuromotorphysiology SpikerBox," but our marketing team killed that name. #neurotwitter #Trivia

It's #MentalWellnessMonth so we should all take some time to meditate - and record our EEG while at it! 🧘
Figure out how rest differs from meditation. What you'll need is a subject willing to idle away, a coin to toss, and our SpikerBox.

Did you know you can non-invasively record Cat & Dog EKG, using our Heart & Brain SpikerBox? 🐾
A doggo only needs to sport some tennis wristbands and sit still for some half a minute. Cats tend to openly despise ANY sort of armwear though, so we went the DIY route and... (1/2)

We are learning about neuroscience during Career Month, and our scholars were able use the #SpikerBox to listen to neuron spikes and see how the cockroach’s leg reacted to music. Thank you @CasasJett for coming to our school today! @HaysSTEAMshines #haysAVID @BackyardBrains

Who says you can't rock at neuroscience at 12? Heartfelt (and brainfelt!) congrats to Supriya Nair, neuroscientist and fencer (or shall we say 'neurofencer') who recently won the #WSSEF using SpikerBox! 🏆🤺 #NeuroRevolution
