Potential Applications

A Wide Array of Uses

Our customers come from many fields of research, from motor to speech to behavioral studies. Over time, the Galileo™ has incorporated new features to expand its usefulness into fields of study we never imagined. We know that the Galileo™ will become an indispensable tool in your laboratory as well.

Sensorimotor

The Galileo™ was initially designed to assist researchers doing sensorimotor research.
We have developed a system optimized for this type of research, with a wide array of I/O and synchronization inputs. Researchers in this field are primarily interested in developing adaptation therapies.

Motion & Gait

One of the unexpected areas in which Galileo™ has made its mark is in simulating dynamic motion and impact on the body. Galileo™ Systems acquired for this purpose are factory-optimized before they ship. The Galileo TAC-Cells can be attached to any impact point and fired to simulate motion, all in an fMRI.

Behavioral

The Galileo™ has special controls to allow it to be integrated into complex experiments. Pulses and/or sequences can be triggered via sensor within a behavioral experiment, simply by creating a trigger within your serial control software. Sequences can also be triggered using a digital TTL (BNC) input.

Elegant Technology, Built for Simple Setup

Our experience has shown us one thing. Researchers don’t want tools that add complexity to their lives. They want systems that work well and don’t require hours of valuable time to get going.

Galileo™ does not require special training or factory technicians to install it. Simply put the unit onto a solid surface or rack mount in your control room, plug it into the wall, and run the hose assembly into the imaging suite. Once you power on the system, plug in the USB to your computer and start the Galileo™ software.

Once you’ve set up your system, you can begin connecting the synchronization outputs to the imaging system. Use one cable in the “All Channels” sync port, or connect each channel to its own port on your imaging system. For more complex projects, create a serial port in your favorite lab software to control Galileo™
