ABSTRACT

For sport neuroscience and psychophysiology researchers and practitioners, deciding what instrumentation to use can be challenging. To help keep up with the proliferation of neuropsychophysiological monitoring devices that range from basic consumer to advanced research grade systems, a select review of psychophysiological/neuroscience monitoring equipment that is available for purchase is presented. We have primarily featured systems that are used to monitor cardiac and brain activity. While the listed companies may manufacture a number of systems with differing capabilities, we only included one device per manufacturer that we deemed to be the most advanced and useful for the field of applied sport neuroscience and psychophysiology (applied practice & research). Instrumentation that is ambulatory and capable of wireless on-the playing-field recording is specified. Additional information on the presented systems can be obtained on the manufacturer’s website or via e-mail.
