Muscle SpikerBox

With every step you take, every turn of your head, and every time you pick up a pencil, electricity courses through the muscles involved. Electricity acts as both a signal and a product, telling your muscles to move and being produced by them when your brain tells them to contract. Before now, seeing or listening to your own bioelectricity was often a costly and complex process. That changed, however, with the original release of our Muscle SpikerBox. Using our device, you can easily begin to listen to and record your own (or your friends') muscle action potentials, and display them live on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

It's perfect for education of all ages! Nobody is too old to be delighted by spikes! For students interested in experimenting further, it's also fun and great for projects, and neuroscience makes an impressive show at a science fair.

Don't believe that electricity is in your body? See it in action below at a TED Talk led by Backyard Brains co-founder Greg Gage. Be prepared, as most people's minds are blown when they first glimpse the bioelectricity constantly running rampant through their muscles.
