OneiRos - Wireless Electrophysiological System

ONEIROS is a new and low power consumption electrophysiological measurement system designed for conducting research on freely moving small animals. The miniature, standalone system is capable of recording up to 26 electrophysiological signals (electroencephalogram, electromyogram, electrooculogram, electrocardiogram…), metabolic (3 temperature channels) and behaviour via an accelerometer up to 7 days.

Developped by the Sleep Team of the CNRS Lyon, France, (Bertrand Massot, Sebastien Arthaud, Baptiste Barrillot, Johanna Roux, Gianina Ungurean, Pierre Hervé Luppi, Niels C.Rattenborg, Paul Antoine Libourel), ViewPoint is in charge of the industrialization and the sole source supplier.

As an option, the device can be equipped with embedded stimulation such as vibrating motor which can be used to assess arousal thresholds, to disrupt sleep or conditional behaviour.
