Plexon, a provider of novel data acquisition systems for analyzing brain signals and peripheral nervous system signals, hardware and software tools for neurological, neurodegenerative disease and neuro-electrophysiology research, has announced the launch of its CinePlex Online 3D Video Acquisition and Tracking System at the Neuroscience 2011 annual meeting.
The CinePlex product line from Plexon has been used by the neuroscience community for digital video recording and tracking applications. Plexon has added three-dimensional functionality to the application. This functionality combines the three-dimensional recording and tracking of the movement of limbs from multiple cameras and precise calculations for analyzing speed, gait and direction that are important for behavioral analysis.
Plexon's CinePlex Online 3D has the capability to support multiple cameras. However , two are sufficient for this system. The recording and tracking data are completely synchronized with real-time three-dimensional object tracking of the OmniPlex neural acquisition system.
The CinePlex system features a simple, advanced calibration process that allows it to be used on-location. This allows observation of the subjects in natural settings. President and Founder of Plexon, Harvey W. Wiggins, stated that the CinePlex system was being utilized in a lab for research into spinal cord regeneration. This will help patients who have received severe spinal injuries, he added.
The CinePlex Online 3D Video Acquisition and Tracking System, the Optogenetic Stimulation System and the DigiAmp 256 Digitizing Amplifier, all new products from Plexon, are to be showcased at the Neuroscience 2011 annual meeting.
