Pinnacle offers prefabricated and standard headmounts that greatly simplify surgery while providing reliable, reproducible and low-noise EEG/EMG connections. Our headmounts can be used with third-party EEG/EMG systems. We have step-by-step surgery guides for headmounts. Learn more

Sirenia® Acquisition **FREE**

Sirenia® Acquisition provides a single platform for recording data from Pinnacle's hardware systems. The software features synchronization of all data streams, user-configurable settings, data consolidation and multiple export options. In addition, the software includes basic review and analysis modules for biosensor, sleep and seizure recordings. Learn more

Sirenia® Sleep Pro

Sirenia® Sleep Pro offers automated power analysis, semiautomated scoring methods, and advanced statistical and graphical analysis for investigation of sleep datasets. Users can also customize charts and graphs for use in papers, presentations and everyday research. Learn more

Sirenia® Seizure Pro

Sirenia® Seizure Pro provides a platform for quickly identifying and analyzing user-defined seizure events over a given time period. Once verified, events are logged in a database. EEG/EMG data are automatically analyzed and stored to create customizable reports and graphs of aggregate seizure data. Third-party EDF files can also be imported for analysis. Learn more

Cages for single or grouped housed animals are available, along with food hoppers, water bottles, and cage lids. Group housing chambers can be used as a home cage or in operant conditioning and social interaction studies. For high-volume animal solutions, 4-cage and 8-cage racks are available. Learn more

Synchronized Video

Integrated video recording provides a platform for synchronizing EEG and EMG changes with observable behavioral states. Video can be added to any new or existing hardware system. Captured video is displayed live on screen as it is streamed from the animal and is synchronized with other recorded data in playback mode. Learn more

Optogenetics

Using light to activate or deactivate specific neuronal pathways is a growing trend in neuroscience research. Optogenetic control systems can be used alone or directly integrated with our four-channel systems. Pinnacle's optogenetic system uses preamplifier-mounted high-intensity LEDs directly coupled to a 200 um optical fiber for precise implantation and targeted light delivery to the brain area of interest. Light pulses can be delivered simultaneously with EEG/EMG recording without disturbing the animal. Tethered and wireless optogenetic systems are available. Learn more

Biosensors

Pinnacle's biosensors can be integrated with EEG and EMG recording using our four-channel system. Biosensor recording allows researchers to directly monitor second-by-second concentration changes in specific CNS analytes within a small brain region. Integrate with EEG recording to visualize and correlate these analyte changes with specific EEG activity. Learn more

Accelerometers

Add accelerometer measurements to your EEG recordings to correlate locomotor behavior with changes in neuronal activity. Available in both wireless and tethered configurations, the system enables detection of small movement changes (±2 g) with high temporal resolution up to 500 Hz.

Sleep Deprivation

Pinnacle's automated sleep deprivation and fragmentation system uses a rotating metal bar to gently sleep deprive mice and rats without direct human intervention. It can be programmed to recognize real-time EEG/EMG activity and trigger bar rotation in response to sleep state. Learn more

Analog Adapters

Analog adapters are excellent solutions for researchers who require the low noise provided by Pinnacle's head-mounted preamplifiers and commutators, but who have existing amplification/acquisition systems. The adapters can be used to connect Pinnacle mouse and rat preamplifiers with most third-party data collection systems. Learn more
