Hi Elan,
Thank you for the follow-up and my apologies for the delay!
The prices for Analyzer and Recorder are as follows:
1 x Brain Vision Recorder 1st license acquisition software $6,950
0 x Brain Vision Recorder additional license $4,950
1 x Brain Vision Analyzer 2 1st license analyses software $11,950
0 x Brain Vision Analyzer 2 additional license analyses software $5,925
Also, all updates and the entire support or included and not time limited or limited
to a certain number of support calls or emails, so there is no cost of ownership
once you purchased it. Once you have it, its yours...
In any case, in case you need to make a choice the Analyzer 2 software will
provide you with more of a pay-off since it will speed up your analysis quite a bit.
Please let me know if you have any other questions and if the above fits into the
budget goal you have.
Thank you in advance and all the best,
Florian

Florian,
Thanks for the info. I would be curious to get pricing info on the Recorder and
Analyzer 2 software. We may have a little wiggle room in the budget.

Hi Elan,
Thank you for the note and indeed the training probably won't be needed after
the Skype meeting.
Regarding the software, PyCorder is the designated program to run recordings
with actiCHamp - it is open source and comes at no additional charge. You also
have the choice to use our commercially available BrainVision Recorder software
which runs all of our amplifiers and also a very nice choice - it is more
streamlined and the underlying code is much faster than Python, so you can
sample at higher frequencies with the amplifier (don't think that is needed in your
case).
However, BrainVision Analyzer 2 is not the recording software but a full analysis
tool. Analyzer 2 recognizes files from different EEG manufacturers automatically
and guarantees compatibility and exchangeability with research labs all over the
world. The editable "History Tree" lets you organize, explore and trace evaluation
steps. All the analyses done and parameters used are stored in an easily
accessible fashion. Automated analysis with drag & drop functions speed up
recurring tasks.
Analyzer 2 includes all necessary pre-processing functions, enhanced timefrequency analysis options, FFT, Wavelets, various phase measures (ITC, phase
synchrony), PCA, ICA, ocular correction ICA, LORETA and MRI correction as
well as a direct interface to MATLAB and EEGLab. New views create unlimited
output possibilities to publish your results. Programming interfaces in .NET
languages can be used to expand functionality.
The software is a very popular analysis tool even in labs that also use eeglab
since Analyzer is about 8 times faster and much more structured and easier to
use. For re-occurring processing steps, you would use Analyzer and only for
things that are not implemented would you leave Analyzer and process the data
in MATLAB.
In any case, please let me know if you would like me to get into additional details
or if I can be of any other assistance.
Thank you already! Best,
Florian

Florian,
Thanks for the follow-up. We can probably assume that training won't be
necessary though we may have the budget for it if we deem it very helpful. I have
an additional question: Greg Appelbaum, a researcher and user of your systems
who originally sent me your way, mentioned that he used your Analyzer software
to do his recording rather than Pycorder. Can you please clarify what Pycorder
can and can't do and whether additional software, such as Analyzer is necessary
or strongly recommended for use with the actiChamp? We were originally
thinking that we might just use EEGlab, the free Matlab toolbox, to do
visualizations and analyses and that Pycroder was sufficient to do the acquisition.
Can you speak to this issue?
Thank you,
-Elan

Hi Elan,
Just now noticed your message to Tamara...
Yes, there is warranty included with the products. There is a three year warranty
on all hardware and two years on all other equipment other than consumables
(please see addendum). Tamara, in CC, will send you an updated quote with
training included. However, I would suggest to first schedule a Skype
demonstration to see if a training visit would actually be necessary. A full day of
training is usually priced at $1,590 and even if we only need a half day, there are
travel costs that would need to be covered ($600-$700). If there isn't a reason for
that, I would not like to have you factor in that expense. If you have the choice, I
would suggest to wait with scheduling an in-person training until after our Skype
training. That should only take an hour or two since the system setup is quite
straight forward.
Just let us know what you prefer.
Thank you in advance and I am looking forward to working with you!
Best,
Florian

Hi Tamara,
Thank you for the quote. Can you please let me know wether there is a
warranty included for any of the products? Also, if you can send a quote for
training that would be appreciated as well.

Hi Elan,
Florian asked me to follow-up with you. Please find the attached quote for a 64channel actiCHamp system, extension cable, and corresponding adapter, and let
me know if anything needs to be added or changed.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of any further
assistance.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Tamara

Florian,
I hope you received my response to this email. If you could get us
this quote as soon as possible that would be very helpful as we need to
make a decision very soon.

Hi Elan,
Thank you for your follow-up and the is a very good choice. In order
to enable you to extend the length of the actiCAP electrode cables a
bit, I will also quote a one meter extension which is not priced too
much.
I would be able to provide a 3% discount on a pre-payment. Would that
be something you are interested in. If so, I would send you additional
information and will send you the quote based on that.
Thank you in advance and please let me know.
Best,
Florian

Hi Florian,
Thank you for the (abundant) information! It sounds like we would
likely go with the actiCHamp system alone, without the MOVE
extension. Can you please send me a quote for the standard (i.e.
non-TMS) configured system?
Thanks,
-Elan

Hi Elan,
Thank you for your interest in the actiCHamp and its a very solid
system for a number of applications that you can also cover with
Symamps. But I would like to learn more about your work and research
paradigm to double check on what you need. What type of experiments
are you running, and with what type of participants?
Will you be combining the EEG with any other measurement such as
TMS, tDCS, eye-tracking, fMRI, MEG, fNIRS, etc., or during special
conditions such as sleep or walking?
I will be at ITSEC in Florida later in December (2nd to 5th), but
that may be too late. What is your timeline the system? Will you be
at any conferences before that - maybe we can meet on during one of
such occasions.
Depending on your budget, there is room to move a bit. What is your
budget goal on the entire system? If it is below what I can do I
would need to talk to Brain Products but in any case, there are a
number of options.
Just let me know and we will go from there.
I am looking forward to learning more about your research and will
assemble the right system quote for you based on that.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Florian

Hello,
I'm a researcher at FAU and we are looking to purchase an EEG
system comparable to the Synamp RT with 64 channels. Dr. Greg
Appelbaum at Duke highly recommended we should look into your
actichamp system. I found your literature online and it looks like
a great system. I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there any possibility of having a rep provide a demo? We are
in Boca Raton FL.
2) We are working within a pretty tight budget. Is there any
chance of a discount on the listed US price of $37,500?
Thank you for your assistance.
