    At SfN 2015, eye tracking technology leader SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI)
[http://www.smivision.com ] presents a unique and established combination of
scientific-grade, user-friendly eye tracking and demonstrates new integration options of
SMI's Eye Tracking Connected [http://www.smivision.com/smieyetracking-connected ] program.
Via dedicated protocols, plug-ins and other capabilities this program connects portable
eye tracker like the SMI RED250mobile [http://www.smivision.com/red250mobile ] with more
than 30 partner solutions ranging from Brain Products EEG recording, BIOPAC physiological
data logging to E-Prime(R) stimulus presentation. Leading labs at the forefront of
neuroscience, e.g. from Harvard University, Stanford University or the Chinese Academy of
Sciences, confide in SMI's proven technology and reliable connectivity
[http://www.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/applications/psychology-psychiatry-psycholinguistics/smi-eye-tracking-research-at-sfn-2015.html ]
for their research in
laboratory and real-life scenarios.

    Researchers can go hands-on with SMI's scientific eye tracking and the new partner
integrations at this year's SfN, SMI booth 605 (Chicago/USA, October 18-21, 2015).

    SMI's Scientific Eye Tracking solutions
[http://www.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/products/overview.html ]
provide reliable eye and gaze information in laboratory and everyday scenarios for
research ranging from neurolinguistics, to cognitive development of infants, to studies on
stress and neurological disorders like schizophrenia or alzheimer. Screen-based devices
include 250 Hz portable systems which run from a laptop; ideal for scientific-grade
studies at schools, work places, hospitals, and other real-life locations. Specialized
devices are available for MRI applications, while SMI Eye Tracking Glasses 2w enable
interactive studies in daily scenarios. SMI Eye Tracker can be easily synchronized with
other biosensors and external applications using software messages, TTL trigger and other
tools.

    The new E-Prime(R) Extensions for SMI as well as the BIOPAC and Brain Products
integration options add to the range of capabilities of the SMI Eye Tracking Connected
[http://www.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/products/smi-eye-tracking-connected.html ]
program. Via dedicated protocols, plug-ins, e.g. for gaze and motion
integrations, and other options, SMI Eye Tracking can easily be combined with leading
partner solutions in fields ranging from multimodal cognition research to virtual reality.

    Frazer Findlay, CEO, BIOPAC Systems, Inc.: "The plug and play integration of BIOPAC
and SMI measurement solutions reveals how visual information evokes physiological
reactions. The integrative approach allows researchers to easily access complete
participant response data for their analysis. To learn more about the co-registration
workflow, researchers may attend our satellite event at SfN."

    Dr. Patrick Britz, Marketing Director, Brain Products GmbH: "With the smooth
integration of Brain Products and SMI, customers interested in combining eye tracking and
EEG no longer have to program their own scripts to merge co-registered data. This allows
researchers to fully focus on data interpretation. At our SfN booth, we will demo the easy
synchronization of SMI eye tracking and BrainVision Analyzer 2."

    Dale Christopher, General Manager, Psychology Software Tools, Inc. (PST): "The
integration with SMI's wide range of eye trackers creates new possibilities for the
E-Prime(R) community and SMI's existing E-Prime(R) user base. To have a comprehensive,
integrated solution spanning desktop, mobile, and fMRI eye tracking has long been a goal
for us and to finally realize it is a large step forward for PST. We are looking forward
to show the integration to many interested parties at SfN."

    Eberhard Schmidt, Managing Director, SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI): "This year's SfN
again shows that leading partners choose to collaborate with us to accelerate the pace of
innovation in the field of neuroscience. We underline our true dedication to the
scientific community not only with continuous innovation, but also with dedicated support
for our customers and partners. We invite researchers to attend our demos and to engage in
interesting discussions at SfN."
