StartleMonitor - The best choice for:

• Transgenic & Mutant Mouse Studies
  The StartleMonitor system has been specially designed for use with transgenic mice. Weíve incorporated critical features into the system such as ambient vibration immunity and extremely high sensitivity for the small response of mice.
• Pre-Pulse Inhibition
  The ability to run pre-pulse inhibition trials is already a part of the system. Simple Windows commands help you easily create these trials.
• Cross Modal Pre-Pulse Inhibition
• Gap Detection
  Similar to pre-pulse inhibition, but with a decrease or absence of sound. This mode of testing is also built in.
• Standard Acoustic Trials
  Exceptional acoustic characteristics for classic startle reflex.
• Fear Potentiated Options
  All components needed for a fear potentiated operation
• Habituation Trials
• Tactile (Air Puff) Startle Reflex

New! Hearing loss and Tinnitus screening for rodents!
(Patent pending)

Our new Hearing Loss and Tinnitus options have been specifically designed for rodent applications in our StartleMonitor system. Through the use of pre-pulse inhibition and gap detection you will be able to measure hearing loss at frequency or perform studies in the field of tinnitus research. These new options are the result of a 16 year pursuit of advancing startle. StartleMonitor systems using these options have become a key component of basic tinnitus research and toxicology tests for determining hearing loss in rats and mice.
