ANT Neuromeeting 2008: Burgundy, France
First, we would like to thank everyone that contributed to the success of this year's Neuromeeting and look forward to your participation in 2009. In addition to the very interesting scientific presentations, we had a fabulous time tasting some of the most excellent Burgundy wines in a nice and relaxed atmosphere.
Presentations, videos and pictures from the show have been posted on our website. To catch a glimpse of the meeting please follow this link.

Since this event is growing bigger every year we will soon start with the organization of the ANT Neuromeeting 2009. You are welcome to suggest new topics for consideration in the scientific lectures or recommend further improvements to the meeting. Please send an email to:

New Product: ANT high-speed amplifier
We are pleased to announce the latest addition to ANT's line of high-quality EEG/ERP amplifiers. The new series includes a 32-channel amplifier that will record at up to 10 kHz sampling rate. This model prepares the ground for users who intend to combine recording protocols of BAEP/SEP with EEG/ERP, e.g. with our cognitrace product. Next to this model, a 16-channel amplifier with up to 20 kHz sampling rate is available, as well as a 72-channel amplifier with a sampling rate of up to 4 kHz.

Please feel free to contact us for more technical and pricing details, information on available models and accessories.

The Human Brain Mapping conference, Melbourne, Australia
ANT will be showcasing our products at this year's Human Brain Mapping conference held in Melbourne. Please stop by our booth to view these items. If you are interested in discussing future products or upcoming projects, we would be happy to meet with you.
Just contact us here and we will schedule some time to discuss how ANT can meet your needs.

ASA-LAB: Integration of ERP with Tobii eye-tracker
Real-time integration of eye-tracking and EEG/ERP has become a hot topic of research in various directions. ANT and Tobii have jointly been working on integrating the two modalities in order to combine EEG/ERP, eye fixation parameters as well as additional data sources such as respiration, GSR (skin conductance) and vertical and horizontal EOG.

The device made by Tobii (www.tobii.com) is extremely suitable for this application. Because the eye-tracker is actually integrated with the computer screen, there is no need for the subject to wear any special eye-tracker device. During the recording procedure, event information is exchanged between the systems in real-time. EEG and eye-fixation data are merged in ASA for further analysis such as spectral mapping or source localization.

Why ANT? - Testimonial from new ANT user
Let the customers speak Under this motto, we would like to give the word to new customers of ANT in this newsletter column. We sincerely hope that this will help readers in the decision-making process and may stir some ideas when it comes to possible cooperation with ANT.

"The Human Motor Control Laboratory at the University of Tasmania in Australia has been using TMS to investigate neurophysiological correlates of changes in human motor function related to the aging process and following a stroke. To expand our research we were interested in acquiring an integrated TMS/EEG and a 3D navigation system for TMS coil positioning. In a Web search I came across the ANT site and contacted the company with regard to their products. Of particular importance to us was a visit 'down under' by Maarten van de Velde to demonstrate the VISOR Neuro-navigation and ASA Lab TMS/EEG systems. We were impressed by the capabilities of the systems, the willingness of the company to engage the user in further development of the systems and the back-up support offered. Following delivery of the VISOR and ASA Lab systems to our lab, installation and training was conducted during a two day visit to Hobart by Robin Adam from ANT. We are now ready to incorporate the ANT systems in our ongoing research and look forward to a continuing relationship with the company."
