 note = {Acoustic startle response and its prepulse inhibition have been used as tools for elucidating auditory information processing of humans and animals and for screening some mental disorders such as schizophrenia. However, measuring these phenomena requires very expensive devices and a soundproof room. In addition, once the experimental system is established, the system is not easy to move to other experimental rooms. Thus, many laboratories have found it difficult to introduce the formal experimental system to measure the startle reflex. The present study aimed to propose a simple experimental method to measure acoustic startle response, and to assess the practicality of the device. The main components of the device were a commercially available and wearable electromyography (EMG) amplifier, a microcomputer board, closed headphones, a small audio mixing console, and a personal computer. This set of devices can be easily moved between rooms without rewiring and be set up on a standard school desk. Acoustic startle responses were successfully detected using this simple measuring system without a soundproof room. This method may facilitate the investigation of the effects of other sensory modalities (e.g., visual context) on auditory information processing, and provide a useful educational tool for undergraduate students in psychology courses.},
