An open, collaborative, cheap, efficient and useful piece of tech to connect neuroscientific hardware systems

NeuroBox

One of most common hair-pulling issue that psychologists or neuroscientists are facing when setuping an experiment is sending triggers (i.e., event markers) to other recording devices such as BIOPAC® or EEG systems. The whole ecosystem of hardware for cognitive science is corrupted by proprietary systems, with brands such as Chronos® or Cedrus filling the gaps and taking advantage of researchers and their often publicly-funded research. As a results, scientists are left with expensive, complicated, and bad options to precisely time their experiment.

NeuroBox is the remedy.

NeuroBox aims to help you send triggers (event markers) from your experiment to other systems. It relies on the most accurate technique, a photosensor, which will react to the stimulus' physical display on the screen and send this information to your recording device.

This is a new and work in progress project. If you are interested by helping or using it, do not hesitate do let us know by opening an issue.
