I'm trying to figure out the most affordable but reliable set-up to do intracranial EEG recordings to examine sleep in fish, etc. If anyone can recommend amplifier brands/models, software, etc. that would be great! Are there amplifiers that talk directly to a computer to save the data on hard drive or is an interface between amplifier and computer always necessary? This is a new area for me and I don't want to buy equipment I don't need. Thanks!
Dear Teresa,
interesting application. I know that someone using Datasciences gold standard for telemetry research was able to measure physiological parameter in the gold fish.

What fish do you wanna look at and at what distance?
Best Regards,
Thank you for that link, Stefano. I had actually been looking for an untethered method for EEG instead of the hardwired setup. I've contacted them and hope that something like this will record EEG in fish. They are capable of recording EEG in mice and rats so it should work. Thank you again!
The animals would be in aquariums so the distance would be at most twelve inches.
Dear Teresa Iglesias, interesting question. As well as the Leiden group of Vincent van Ginneken and Peter Snelderwaard mentioned above, another group worth contacting is Irene Tobler's at Zurich ( cf Behavioural Brain Research, Volume 69, Issues 1–2, July–August 1995, Pages 35–41). Hope this helps.
Hi Teresa,
Probably a few years too late, but for future reference: http://www.vyssotski.ch/neurologger2
Dear Theresa,
if you want to try telemetry you could contact Cara Hildreth at Macquarie, and or our representative Parimal Kacha at ADI Instrument reselling telemetry in Australia. Best Regards
