Multiparticipant or Large Groups | Recording from Multiple Participants Part II

A thorough examination of how multiparticipant or large group data recording can be made easy through proper instrumentation selection, experimental planning, and data analysis strategy.

In this second webinar, Frazer Findlay and Alex Dimov discussed some of the challenges, opportunities, and solutions surrounding multiparticipant or large group experiments. When the number of concurrent participants in a study rises to more than 2, more than 10, or even more than 50 – unique and non-obvious challenges arise. Through years of experience in the field, BIOPAC recommended ways to reduce some of the complexity and increase the quality of data collected during these large or multiparticipant experiments. Information was provided about the most appropriate equipment for different experimental scenarios and optimized hardware setup for each use case. These use cases included multi-subject fNIRS, multi-subject virtual reality, large groups within single rooms, large groups of remote subjects, movie theaters and stadiums, and multi-subject cubicle setups featuring the same stimuli. They also focused on subject preparation methods to ensure that you get the best possible data from your subjects.
