Measure your muscle power. Perform "6 million dollar" bionic music. Developed by BioControl, this sensor measures the EMG of your arms and legs. View the sensor data using our BioFlex software (see below).
Use the BioFlex with a wireless Wi-microSystem in all cases to operate conveniently without tether and ensure electrically safe operation (see disclaimer below). See this videoclip for a demo !
Application information
Product |
BioFlex sensor |
Examples |
The BioFlex combines perfectly with the BioBeat, BioEmo and BioWave. Become zen and still perform.
- Add intensity to your musical performance by tweaking your sound through muscle tension and more body physiology.
Link dance to audio-visual expression.
- 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-6 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.

Manuals |
Using the sensor with the Wi-microSystem not only ensures electrically safe operation (see disclaimer below) but also enables you to use the sensor without being tethered to your computer or MIDI device.
- User guide
- Demo video
The sensor includes a notch filter to reduce power grid noise (50 or 60 Hz). Note that the sensor is shipped with this 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.
