Measure skin resistance, which relates to the level of arousal and/or emotional excitation, with this sensor. This measurement method is also used for the infamous lie detector. Developed by the inventors of the renowned BioMuse, this sensor measures the GSR (galvanic skin resistance). Includes notch filter to reduce power grid noise (50 or 60 Hz). See this videoclip for a demo !
Use the BioEmo with a wireless Wi-microSystem in all cases to operate conveniently without tether and ensure electrically safe operation (see application notes below).
Application examples
- Combines perfectly with the BioBeat, BioWave and
BioFlex-50/BioFlex-60. Become zen and still perform.
- Add intensity to your musical performance by tweaking your sound through your skin resistance and more body physiology.
- For whole-body expression go bodysuit, capture all your joints' movements and express with all your extremities.
Combine with
BendMicro,
BendMini and
BendShort sensors from finger to toe.
Add a GForce3D-3 on your feet
and hands to capture kicks and punches.
A Hot will keep
you in check of your body temp. Top it all off with a
TouchGlove on both hands
to always be able to touch-control your performance, even when you're doing a handstand.

Application notes |
The BioEmo sensor is to be used only with extreme caution according to the following instructions. It is intended for research purposes only and not intended for use in any clinical medical practices whatsoever.
- The BioEmo sensor must only be plugged into a battery powered, wireless I-CubeX digitizer (eg. the Wi-microDig or Wi-miniDig) manufactured by Infusion Systems and not any other digitizer.
- The BioEmo sensor must only be connected as shown in the diagram on the wireless digitizer.
- The wireless digitizer used with the BioEmo sensor must only be powered by a common 9V battery as used in consumer goods or an I-CubeX BatteryPack.
- Only I-CubeX sensors may be connected to the wireless digitizer that is used for interfacing the BioEmo.
- When using the BioEmo sensor, I-CubeX products may not be connected in any way to the electrical power grid or any other high voltage source.
Any violation of these instructions nullifies any warranty (express or implied) and nullifies any liability or culpability (express or implied) of Infusion Systems Ltd.. Any violation of these instructions can result in electrocution, severe injury, or even death.
Using the sensor with the Wi-microSystem not only ensures electrically safe operation but also enables you to use the sensor without being tethered to your computer or MIDI device.
Note that the sensor is shipped with the power grid notch filter set to 50 Hz. It can be changed if necessary to 60 Hz by cutting the blue jumper wire on the side of the board inside the neoprene band.
