Getting Started 2: What Equipment Do I Need?

All of our equipment comes with up to two hours of our installation service. For HEG this includes your first training session.

If you are a new trainer just starting out, and you do not want to work your way through our product offerings, we encourage you to select one of our Training Packages (EEG or EEG+HEG). These include not only the essentials (amplifier, sensors, software) but also the training support we believe will be most helpful to you. To make them easier for you to purchase, each comes with a payment plan.

We are listing below, for HEG and EEG, the equipment essentials, the suggested training support, and some additional items you might consider.

Combining HEG and EEG

The only time you would need to buy more than one copy of BioExplorer is if you are planning to run more than one BioExplorer training session at the same time. The same version of BioExplorer works with HEG and EEG (it is the designs that tell the software what is being trained). You can install BioExplorer on as many computers as you wish. However, a single purchase includes only one USB software key, and this must be plugged into any computer running the software.
