Features

• Ability to run up to eight test stations on a single computer.
• Up to 120 dB startle tone or noise, and 100 dB background white noise.
• Flexible stimulus presentation—auditory, visual, aversive stimulation, or any auxiliary device controllable by 28 V DC.
• Complete set of all pertinent and peripheral data
  can be viewed graphically and is readily available in a ASCII text format.
• Overlay response data graphics option to view
  trial-by-trial differences.
• Connects with fewer cables due to the redesigned connection panel, programmable audio generator, and audio amplifiers.
• Reduces start up costs due to the one audio amplifier per chamber design and makes adding additional chambers straightforward.

The startle reflex system allows investigators to set-up programs for performing both prepulse inhibition of startle (PPI), and fear-potentiated startle (FPS) experiments, referred to as “prepulse startle” and “potentiated startle” respectively.
