ActiveTwo is a powerful high-resolution biosignal acquisition system that incorporates some revolutionary concepts. Active electrode technology is just one of the significant innovations in the ActiveTwo system. By placing active electronics within millimeters of the actual electrode contact, ActiveTwo virtually eliminates the need to prepare the scalp before applying electrodes. This can cut measurement preparation time by an estimated 15 -30 minutes for most laboratories!
ActiveTwo can also be equipped with additional sensors for respiration, skin conductance, temperature, plethysmograph (pulse) and other parameters. An optional isolated analog input box makes it possible to acquire almost any type of signal synchronously with the signals sampled by the ActiveTwo A/D box.
As an added benefit, ActiveTwo comes with powerful data acquisition software developed in National Instruments' LabView. We provide the compiled software so you do not need to own LabView, and you do not need to be a programmer to operate the system. For those laboratories with programming resources, the source code is provided so that you can add any special features that you may need.

Each ActiveTwo system is built upon a basic set of items known as the Base System. The Base System includes the A/D interface box, USB 2.0 interface box with USB 2.0 cable, two rechargeable battery units, battery charger with A/C adapter and the ActiView data acquisition software. A wide range of additional components and accessories are available.
A detailed table outlines the key specifications of the ActiveTwo system. Take time to review and consider how these specifications compare to what you are used to. The benefits of certain specifications are not always obvious to non-engineers, so don't hesitate to ask if something is not clear.
A sampling of reference citations for peer-reviewed publications by both the Biosemi group and users of the ActiveTwo system. We do not maintain downloadable versions of these articles, unfortunately.
A detailed list of the recommended and required computer specifcations is provided. The computer requirements are minimal, so it is likely that you already have a computer around that could be used with ActiveTwo. If you will be purchasing new computers, be sure to pay special attention to the supported display resolutions.
