Health & Performance Monitoring
Physiological Sensors
We provide advanced sensors for real-time physiological insights. Choose from a variety of sensors, including a 3D accelerometer for precise motion tracking, a GSR sensor to monitor stress and emotional states, a respiration band for analyzing breathing patterns, a SPo2 sensor to measure blood oxygen levels, and a deep brain stimulation (DBS) adapter cable to study and modulate neural activity while measuring EEG.
These sensors provide valuable, comprehensive data to track physiological responses, evaluate health factors, or optimize performance in a variety of research applications.
3D Accelerometer
Compatible with SAGAThe 3D accelerometer is a sensor that measures acceleration in three dimensions. It detects changes in velocity along the x, y, and z-axes. A 3D accelerometer is typically used to detect or track movement in a measurement setup or to monitor physical activity. Another use case is to measure tremors in Parkinson’s patients (view Publication), for example. In this case, the 3D accelerometer is used in addition to EEG.
We provide a miniature sensor that integrates easily and non-intrusively into a measurement setup. The 3D accelerometer can be attached to our SAGA amplifier. It typically uses 3 AUX channels, meaning one AUX input on a SAGA system.
An alternative way to measure accelerations with SAGA is with the SAGA data recorder’s internal accelerometer. This internal accelerometer can be used to track the movements of the recorder itself, such as when the data recorder is worn on the body.

GSR Sensor + Finger Electrodes
Compatible with SAGAThe galvanic skin response (GSR) sensor measures the electrical conductance of the skin. GSR is also referred to as skin conductance, electrodermal activity (EDA), electrodermal response (EDR), or psychogalvanic reflex (PGR). It is often used for biofeedback applications and psychology research.
The electrical conductance of the skin typically changes when we experience emotional arousal or physiological changes, such as sweating due to stress or excitement. The GSR sensor measures these changes in skin conductance resulting from sweat gland activity. When sweat gland activity increases, there is more perspiration, increasing skin conductance. Therefore, the GSR readings are often compared to a baseline condition to quantify differences in activity levels.
GSR measurement typically involves placing two reusable electrodes on two fingers of one hand. We offer a GSR sensor that can be connected to one of the AUX channels on the SAGA system.

Respiration Band
Compatible with SAGAThe RespiV6 sensor is a respiration sensor designed to monitor respiration. It is an inductive sensor module, which is typically less prone to drift compared to resistive versions. As the chest expands during respiration, the length of the belt changes accordingly. The elastic belt functions as an inductor, with its inductance varying in response to changes in length.
The RespiV6 respiration sensor can be attached to an AUX port of SAGA. It consists of a sensor module and a belt which typically is worn around the chest or abdomen to capture both chest and abdominal breathing rhythms.
We offer various versions of the RespiV6 sensor, each operating at different frequencies. This allows for the simultaneous use of up to four sensors, enabling the measurement of breathing rhythms from multiple locations.

Nonin Xpod (SpO2)
Compatible with SAGASpO2 stands for peripheral oxygen saturation. It’s a noninvasive method used to monitor the functionality of your cardiovascular and respiratory systems by measuring the oxygen saturation of your blood. This measurement is typically obtained using a pulse oximeter.
The pulse oximeter is a small, clip-like sensor that is attached to a body part, often a finger. It emits and then absorbs a light wave as it passes through the blood vessels in that body part. The sensor calculates SpO2 using the difference in absorption of light in oxygen-bond and non-oxygen-bond red blood cells. One common application of pulse oximetry is in Polysomnography (Sleep studies), where it aids in detecting sleep-disordered breathing.
In addition to SpO2 values, the module can serve as an easy and non-intrusive sensor to measure heart rate. The sensor also outputs the Plethysmogram, a graphical representation of changes in blood volume during systole. The TMSi Saturation module utilizes a Nonin Xpod sensor, which can be connected to the DIGI input of the SAGA system.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Compatible with SAGA and APEXTMSi’s DBS adapter cables allow the connection of DBS electrodes to TMSi’s systems for measuring Local Field Potentials (LFPs). A DBS lead is a rod with several electrodes that are implanted inside the brain. These leads can electrically stimulate certain areas within the brain. DBS leads are implanted during a surgical procedure. After implanting the DBS leads there is a period of 2 to 5 days before the pulse generator is connected. During this time, the DBS leads are externalized (an open-end wire coming out of the skull), providing the opportunity to perform LFP recordings from the DBS electrodes. Since there are several contact surfaces on the rod, multichannel recording is possible. LFP recordings can provide insights into the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (see publication) and dystonia (see publication). Additionally, LFPs (beta band) can be used to tune the stimulation pulse in closed-loop DBS applications. This research article provides a practical guide to LFP recordings from DBS electrodes.
We provide a range of adapter cables to connect a DBS electrode (Medtronic or Boston Scientific) to our amplifier. Using the (extension) cable provided by you, we can create a cable that allows you to connect your DBS electrodes to SAGA or APEX. Each channel of the DBS electrode can be connected to our amplifier using a SAGA Break Out Box. After making the connections, a recording with SAGA or APEX can be done as usual, for instance with the SAGA User Application or APEX User Application.
