Human SpikerBox

Record your own muscle, heart, brain, and eye signals — all from one device.

The Human SpikerBox is our most versatile human physiology tool. It records EMG (muscles), EKG (heart), EEG (brain), and EOG (eye movements) with research-grade clarity, yet it's simple enough for a first-time user to get signals in minutes

Key features

  • 4-in-1 recording: EMG, EKG, EEG, and EOG from a single device
  • Connects to laptops, smartphones, and tablets via included cables
  • Works with our free Spike Recorder software for real-time visualization and data export
  • Built-in speaker lets you hear your neurons and muscles firing

Who it's for

  • AP Biology and anatomy classrooms
  • Undergraduate neuroscience and physiology labs
  • Science museums and outreach events
  • Makers and biohackers exploring human signals

Pairs perfectly with the Reaction Timer, Reflex Hammer, and Game Controller for expanded experiments.

🎥 As featured in our award-winning TED Series! Watch the SpikerBox in action on DIY Neuroscience.
