Startle reflex operant conditioning system SR-LAB

The SR-LAB startle response system is the world’s most widely used startle reflex research system for measuring startle habituation, pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) and Fear Potentiated Startle (FPS). SR-LAB provides a complete hardware and software solution for a wide variety of startle applications. The system can be configured with up to 16 stations for high through put. SR-LAB software controls virtually any combination of tones, noise bursts, lights, air puffs, background noise and foot shock options. Importantly, SR-LAB supports multiple test paradigms without requiring costly add-on kits or additional software. Supports all startle paradigms including startle habituation, pre-pulse and cross-modal inhibition, fear potentiated startle, trace conditioning and gap detection. Configure up to 16 test stations for rapid testing of large subject groups Easy to use software controls all test paradigms Plug-in kits for shock, puretone, airpuff and light stimuli Results reported millivolts Test animals of varying sizes with five different enclosure options Easily Test the Most Prevalent Test Paradigms The basic SR-LAB System will test the Startle Habituation and Pre-Pulse Inhibition paradigms with no additional kits required. To test the Fear Potentiated Startle paradigm, simply add on the SR-LAB Potentiated Startle Kit which includes the SDI Shocker (a proprietary design that keeps the animal from determining any patterns), a shock grid, and a cue light. No additional software is required to support the Fear Potentiated Startle paradigm .
