Brain products/Brani Visions LiveAmp 64 channel system

Procurement Summary

The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH, CC) requires 1x Quantity of Brain Vision/Brain products electroencephalogram (EEG) system, consisting of the LiveAmp 64 channel system (core systems, electrodes, and accompanying parts). This item is manufactured by Brain Products in the country of Germany, and will be used to support the mission of the NIH. The NIH currently has an electroencephalogram (EEG) system that is up for replacement. Experiments use EEG to localize cortical activation during mobile tasks such as walking and reaching in young infants and during brain computer interface training in children with cerebral palsy. These experiments require at least 64 channels of EEG and a system that is lightweight and wearable. Therefore, Program needs to replace its current 64 channel LiveAmp system, which is nearly five years old. Program also wants the flexibility to integrate the new LiveAmp system with its existing Brain Products software, hardware, and cabling, so Program needs to purchase the new equipment (Brain Products EEG) directly from Brain Vision to maintain compatibility. Our Program office can only use this brand of EEG systems because EEG systems from different vendors are not compatible with each other. Program is currently using Brain Vision/Brain products software and systems, and have additional Brain Products add-on software and devices that can be used with the new system described here. Therefore, purchasing a new EEG system from a different vendor, rather than an additional LiveAmp system from Brain Vision, would not be compatible with the existing systems used by Program. This may negatively affect Program’s research and may introduce problematic variables that may make it difficult to compare data.
