[BIC-announce] Polhemus Visit to the BIC

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Last-minute opportunity to meet with a rep from Polhemus, who will be stopping by at the BIC tomorrow morning. Polhemus is a company who specializes in fast/small/practical 3-D digitalization and motion tracking systems.

See Neil’s message below. The docs are too big too be shared on BIC-Announce - please contact me directly if you would like a copy.

The demo will take place at 10 am, tomorrow Wed Mar 16 at the MEG Unit (B2 North-Wing).

Cheers,

Sylvain.

Hi Dr. Baillet,

Thank you for the quick and positive reply.

If the 16th is more convenient for you, I could do it then also.  10am on the 16th?

The two products I would discuss and demonstrate are the FastSCAN 3D laser scanner, and the MicroSensor 1.8 which can be used with Fastrak or any of our other motion trackers and digitizers.  Data sheets for each are attached.

Although the FastSCAN was designed for 3D modeling applications (rapid prototyping, 3D printing, etc.), we believe it may be valuable for digitizing EEG and MEG probe locations.  It would not only be very fast (and reduce digitizing errors), but would provide head and face geometry for increased accuracy of anatomical landmarks.

The MicroSensor was originally designed to track the movement of a catheter inside a training manikin.  But researchers are beginning to use it for motion measurement of fingers, hands and head for biomechanics and motor control experiments.

I’m looking forward to learning more about Brainstorm.  When we get calls about our digitizers we often get asked about software.  The more I know the better!


Cheers,
Neil
