Neurological software module NeuroExplorer 8.1

neurosurgicalEEGneurosurgery

Overview
The NeuroExplorer 8.1 software is the latest generation of the NeuroExplorer product line designed for demanding intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). It provides enhanced signal stability, a user-adapted look, new monitoring options such as a workflow scheduler and MER integration, seamless documentation with an extended timeline and enhanced report functions, and numerous user-friendly functions developed for use in the operating theatre.

Key features

• Flexible views and quick layout adjustments: add/delete modality windows directly on the measurement screen, drag & drop reorganisation, create up to 6 desktops and different views within a measurement window.
• Intuitive operation: preinstalled measurement scenarios and templates (over 40) for rapid adaptation to various applications.
• Atlas function: visualisation of electrode placement to speed up setup and improve signal quality.
• Basic Mode: simplified interface for beginners that limits available settings.
• Multi-window setup with easy copy-paste: view all settings simultaneously, copy/paste configurations or channels across windows, instantly add channels using electrode schemes.
• High signal quality: active stimulation artefact suppression for clearer D-wave and corticobulbar MEPs; enables display of short-latency, low-amplitude signals.
• Timer functionality: up to two independent timers that can function as alarm or stopwatch; timers may repeat, play sounds, log events or trigger an automatic screenshot.
• Detailed analysis & export: data export in common formats (XLSX, CSV, EDF) for flexible post-processing and integration with other software.
• Spectral EEG: scalp surface EEG support for spectral analysis (CSA/DSA) with 10-20 electrode system and lookback function.
• MER integration: combination of microelectrode recording (MER) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) to provide quantitative parameters and real-time synergistic monitoring during DBS implantations.
• Seamless documentation: extended timeline and report function to capture and document intraoperative events and measurements.
