Welcome to Heijo Research Electronics. We are a specialised company dedicated to the design and building of equipment to aid cognitive psychological/neurological research. We have extensive experience in building equipment for free-flow spatial stimulus presentation and response collection.
We can design visual stimulators with a range of capacities and complexities, from visual stimuli with one LED to complete clusters and matrixes to enable the presentation of different patterns (lines, crosses, circles, etc) and small light boxes that can hold transparencies. For somatosensory stimulation, we supply solenoid tappers in combination with digitally controlled interfaces for a reliable, safe and effective tactile stimulus presentation. Devices for auditory stimulation range from a single speaker to more complex spatial configured devices with numerous speakers.
We provide stimulus presentation interfaces to be controlled from your stimulus presentation computer.
Our interfaces are digitally controlled and can vary from a two-channel device for controlling two visual stimuli to a multichannel device for total spatial and intensity control in multisensory stimulus presentation. Our tactile stimulation interfaces are equipped with safety timers to prevent solenoid tappers from overheating. Accurate timing is a top priority when designing our devices.
We also supply a number of response devices. Our most basic response buttons are no more than 5 mm high, enabling your participant to keep their hands flat on the table. For non-contact responses we offer sophisticated infrared-controlled response keys. If you prefer not to use manual responses, our voice-key response box or our footpedals are excellent alternatives. A number of possible interfaces can be supplied to collect the responses to your stimulus presentation computer.
The majority of our interfaces are controlled directly from the computer's printer/parallel port. Our stimulus presentation and response collection hardware are all compatible with stimulus presentation software that can address the parallel port directly, including E-prime, Presentation, Matlab and ERTS (output only). Furthermore, connections to serial and USB ports are possible.
Heijo Research Electronics has built customised equipment for a number of leading research institutions, including Birkbeck, University of London, City University London and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich.
We are happy to build equipment based on the specification of what you would need in a particular experiment. Alternatively, you could give us a description of your experiment(s)/research and let us advise you about your setup. The options are endless.
