Signalino S3

This is Ana. She wants to study the brain. She gets an EEG system, buys the software and starts recording. Now she has signals. But no budget left. The data raises new questions. But her software cannot run the analyses she needs. She wants to use her usual tools. Proprietary formats and export restrictions get in the way. She also wants to record gaze and responses, and relate them to brain activity. But the programs work separately, and outdated connections make synchronisation difficult. Recording several people at once would save time. But more equipment means more cost. She looks for cheap boards. Now the numbers seem to add up. Until she has to sort out the cables, firmware, battery, enclosure and software. Then repeat the assembly. And synchronise everything. The days go by. Ana wanted to do research. Now she is building the equipment. That is why we are creating Signalino S3. A compact, affordable platform, with a device, enclosure, firmware and software designed to work together. We are designing it to make recording setup simple: connect the electrodes, configure the session and start. Without weeks of assembly. With open formats and access to your data. Eight channels and twenty-four bits to acquire biosignals, view them and record them. And analyse them with your own software. With LSL through Signalino Suite to combine measurements and coordinate recordings from several people. More analyses. New measurements. More participants. And your time, spent on research. Signalino S3. Your questions. Your tools. Your data. We are looking for partner laboratories to try the first prototypes. Tell us about your project.

Marcos studies how brain activity changes over days and weeks. To understand it, he makes chronic recordings in mice. He has a recording cage, a wall-mounted amplifier and a computer. The system works. But his questions keep growing. Now he wants to compare more animals. Try another condition. Record several at once. One more cage. Another amplifier. Another computer. And once again, the budget. When he adds up everything he needs, there is hardly any money left for the rest of the experiment. His ideas grow faster than his budget. Marcos also wants to analyse the signals with the software he already uses. But the equipment’s software has its limits. And getting the data out is not always easy. His questions change. The tools he bought do not. So he looks for a cheaper alternative. And finds boards that seem perfect. Small. Affordable. They just need assembling. Connect the cables. Set up the power supply. Program. Fix errors. Then do it again for each station, and get them all working together. Marcos wanted to study the brain. Now he is debugging connections. Expanding your experiment should not exhaust your budget. Or force you to become an engineer before you can do research. That is why we created Signalino S3. A compact, affordable platform, with hardware, enclosure, firmware and software designed to work together. A Signalino beside each cage, connected to the preparation’s electrodes. For these recordings, you power it with a phone charger. And the data reaches the computer wirelessly. Eight channels and twenty-four bits to acquire your biosignals. With LSL, open formats and your own software: Python, MNE, BCI2000, OpenViBE. To save your recordings and take them wherever you want. Now Marcos follows the experiment comfortably from his office. On screen: camera images and signals from each animal. More time to understand what is happening. Less time getting everything to work. Signalino S3. Your questions. Your tools. Your data.
