New Z-Score Mini-Suite and 4 Channel EEG Connectivity Kit
The Z-Score Mini-Suite and 4 channel EEG connectivity kit provide the elegant solution for your 2 or 4 channel Z-Score assessment and training. Individual z-scores, metrics describing the overall state of a number of z-scores, as well as z-score with standard EEG band amplitudes in parallel. Z-Score Add-on CD (SA7901) is required to get Z-Score values from Dr. Thatcher's normative database.
Z-Score Mini-Suite features:
- Quick Start Favorites are pre-defined for you to use. Start a session, review and report with a single click. Even a desktop icon!
- Quick, easy interface for z-score settings and thresholds. Right click and use graphical interface to easily select all z-score parameters.
- Assessment scripts for eyes open and eyes closed baseline.
- "Live training" based on Thatcher normative database
- Feedback training using individual z-scores, any combination of z-scores or z-scores in parallel with standard EEG frequency bands.
- Benefit from real-time trend graphs to obtain instantaneous measure of progress for all protocols.
- Standard feedback tools including DVD playback, AVI animations and single and dual screen configuration.
- Simple reports include means and trends for z-score, z-score metrics and EEG amplitudes for all sessions.
- For the same session, reports can be obtained simultaneously on all z-scores, standard EEG bands, and all z-score metrics. View trend graphs of epoch means as well as full session means.
- Ready for 2 and/or 4 channel functionality
- Feedback based on many choices of variables:
- Single z-score (can be modified on the fly)
- Z-scores index (proportion of z-scores within condition)
- Other z-score indices: connectivity, powers, power ratios
- Create your own index using a programmable combinations of z-scores (can be modified on the fly)
The suite takes advantage of the full power of BioGraph Infiniti v5.0 by using the Quick Start favorites, which allow you to start a session, review, report and analyze statistics with the click of a single button or even a desktop shortcut. Just one simple click to run any of the 10 Quick Start Favorites:
This mini-suite will allow the user to perform assessment and training with these variables and indices:
- 6 Metrics: Relative Power; Absolute Power; Power Ratios; Coherence; Phase; Amplitude Asymmetry
- 8 Bands: Delta; Theta; Alpha; Beta; High Beta; Beta 1; Beta 2; Beta 3
- 10 Band Ratios: Delta/Theta; Delta/Alpha; Delta/Beta; Delta/High Beta; Theta/Alpha; Theta/Beta; Theta/High Beta; Alpha/Beta; Alpha/High Beta; Beta/High Beta

- Z score Connectivity index (includes only the coherence, phase and amplitude asymmetry z-scores, for all channel pairs).
- Create your own Index using programmable combination of Z-scores (can be modifed on the fly).
Ideal for 2 or 4 channel Z Score or any other multiple channel EEG applications, this kit includes the necessary cables to measure up to 4 channel EEG with common reference and ground, which is required when working with connectivity or other multiple-channel EEG protocols.
This kit contains the following components:
- 1 - SA9323 TT-EEG gold cup cable - black
- 2 - SA9315-4 1M4F Y-connector
- 1 - SA9319 2M1F Y-connector
Features of the 4 Channel Connectivity Kit:
- Our most flexible TT-EEG kit. Used in combination with four TT-EEG Monopolar/Bipolar Electrode kits.
- Connect 1, 2, 3, or 4 monopolar or bipolar channels, with the same reference for all channels.
- Choose between linked ear or single ear reference, and between ear clip or cup electrode active ground.
Please note that the 4 Channel Connectivity Kit should be used in conjunction with up to 4 EEG sensors and 4 monopolar/bipolar kits (T8750). Each EEG sensor includes one T8750 kit.
A full Z-Score system requires:
- A ProComp2, ProComp5, ProComp Infiniti or FlexComp Infiniti with BioGraph Infiniti 5.0
- Z-Score Mini Suite (SA7962)
- Z-Score add-on CD with Dr. Thatcher's normative database (SA7901)
- 2 or 4 EEG-Z sensors (T9305Z)
- A 2-channel (T8760) or 4-channel (T8761) connectivity kit
New MyoScan-Z EMG Sensor
Designed for a sampling rate of 2048 samples per second, this new EMG sensor offers an unique impedance check mode, which can be triggered from BioGraph Infiniti software. It measures raw EMG signals with a range from 0 up to 2000 micro-Volts. MyoScan-Z makes impedance check fast, easy and reliable, and avoids risk of cable misplacement. It monitors skin impedance and sensor connection.
Benefits of impedance check:
- Good contact between the electrodes and the skin is required to have a good quality signal and prevent artifacts.
- Measuring the impedance between the electrodes is the recommended way to verify good contact. It is simple, fast and accurate.
- It shows instantaneously which electrode is not properly connected or which part of the skin is not well prepared.
Impedance check is usually performed with an impedance meter. When you use a regular impedance meter, you have to:
- interrupt the session
- disconnect the cables
- connect the meter to each site and measure them one by one
- reconnect the cables (at the right place)
- restart the session
- And this, every time you need to verify the impedance!
With MyoScan-Z, you can get it done in 3 clicks:
- pause the session
- run the impedance check simultaneously on all the sites without disconnecting any cable
- unpause the session

 BioGraph Infiniti - Impedance Check Screen Thought Technology is the only manufacturer providing EMG sensors with built-in impedance check.
(For use with the ProComp/Procomp5 Infiniti channels A - B or all FlexComp-Infiniti channels.)
