LabBench CPAR+

Setup of LabBench CPAR+ devices.

The LabBench CPAR+ is a computer-controlled cuff pressure algometer that delivers precise, reproducible pressure stimulation for neuroscience research. It generates customisable piecewise-linear pressure waveforms with accurate temporal control, supporting advanced psychophysical protocols. The device enables automated cuff pressure algometry protocols that are not feasible with manual devices.

The LabBench CPAR+ device is included in experimental setups with an <cparplus> element:

<cpar-plus id="cpar"
            button="joystick"
            rating-scale="display.vas" />
