LOCATOR software from EMSE allows you to measure accurately electrode locations on an external head shape in a 3D space. These electrode locations may then be used for MRI co-registration and accurate source estimation. LOCATOR supports various Polhemus systems including FASTRAK and PATRIOT. We will supply an output for BESA Research, so that data can be exported to BESA for Source Analyis.
LOCATOR software from EMSE allows you to measure accurately electrode locations on an external head shape in a 3D space. These electrode locations may then be used for MRI co-registration and accurate source estimation. LOCATOR software utilizes a FASTRAK or PATRIOT system from Polhemus to register the x-/y-/z-coordinates of your EEG/NIRS/MEG/EMG/ECG etc. electrodes by the help of a stylus. For EEG electrode co-registration, LOCATOR guides you through a step-by-step procedure for correct electrode labelling. Furthermore, LOCATOR automatically compensates for head movement with the help of 1-3 head mounted sensors. External shapes can also be co-registered with the "drawing" function.
LOCATOR comes as a package and includes:
- LOCATOR Software
- USB License Dongle
- RS-232 to USB adapter (for connecting the Locator to the computer)
- Mini Tripod (for the transmitter of the Locator)
- Headband (compensates for head movement)
- Calibration Board
- Manuals
LOCATOR Software Features
- Digitization and co-registration of EEG, NIRS, MEG, EMG, ECG and many other sensors in a 3D space.
- Drawing function allows for digitization of planes in a 3D space.
- Automatic compensation for head movement.
- Sensor and fiducial names can be read out loud in any language to minimize the need to monitor the Locator software display during digitization.
- Compatible with BESA, Curry, and EMSE formats.
- Advanced feedback system to minimize errors during co-registration.
- 3D display of digitized electrode positions.
- Import functionality: ASCII setup files may be used to store commonly used sequences (e.g. electrode names).
- Export functionality: ASCII (EMSE format) probe and headshape files; BESA and Curry ASCII export formats.
- We will supply an output for BESA Research, so that data can be exported to BESA for Source Analyis.
