SennsLab
SennsLab is a synchronization software for experimental design and data collection that seamlessly synchronizes 35+ sensor modalities.
Multimodal synchronisation software
SennsLab is a human behavior research software tool for study design and data collection with 35+ sensor modalities seamlessly synchronized. It supports the entire workflow of your project, from the experimental methodology setting up to the data collection and exports for a complete analysis.
With millisecond synchronization, you will be able to gather valuable information from a wide range of sensor modalities (GSR, ECG, EEG, EMG, EEG, eye tracking...), and present stimuli through multiple platforms: SennsLab, ePrime, Matlab or Python. Thus, you will be able to analyze your data from Excel, SPSS, MatLab, and more, with ease and accuracy.

EEG, GSR, BVP, and eye tracker sync using SennsLab
- Experimental design: Flexible experimental design that enables an easy set up of different presentation of tasks, import and definition of multiple stimuli and materials to be evaluated, definition of group segmentations, and third-party integration.
- Data collection: Simplified data collection with online visual guides to facilitate the set up of the technologies. The software automatically synchronises all the sensors and stimuli to be evaluated.
- Data export: Export data to third parties based on Matlab (EEGLAB, BCILAB, etc), Python (MNE, etc.), Tobii Pro Lab, etc.; or use the SennsMetrics software to obtain emotional and cognitive biometrics for further analysis.
