Labview Software
- Neural Action Potential Simulator (NAPS): A tool to generate surrogate data to test multi-unit spike clustering algorithms and high density data acquisition harware. Spike waveforms, rate, noise, EEG signals... are all user definable.
- Sample VI showing how to use the Neuralynx NetCom facility within Labview. Tested with labview 8.6 -> labview 2015 and Neuralynx Cheetah 5.2-5.5
- Two programs to acquire and analyze rat behavioral data from any webcam. VideoRecord records a movie (.AVI) with time stamps and user annotations. This VI synchronizes with the Cheetah data acquisition system and also captures audio from an arbitrary sound source up to 192K samples/sec. VideoAnalyze reads an AVI movie and lets the user annotate and export data. Sponsored by NSF grant: CRCNS
1010172.
- A Video Tracker. General purpose program to acquire images from a webcam and track an object to generate a series of (t,x,y) triplets. Detection can be done by intensity (follow a bright object) or motion (moving object from frame to frame). Detection can be restricted to an area of interest, and a movie of the input images can be created. The user can enter arbitrary time stamped events (e.g. 'start trial', 'end trial'). The VI synchronizes with Cheetah and LabBook. Current version is 9.2. Sponsored by NSF grant: 1117303 and ONR MURI N000141310672.
Matlab Utilities
- PDF files indexer. If you have a directory structure with a collection of PDF files, this generates a webpage with a sortable table containing all your articles, with a link to your PDF file, and a link to search for related papers on PubMed.
Other Software
- LabBook: A free Electronic Laboratory Notebook ( ELN) to take day-to-day notes during your experiments. LabBook is specifically designed for behavioral neuroscientists and neurophysiologists, but it is general. It features lab timers, counters, pictures/file linking, time-stamped events, dynamic data entry using forms and more. LabBook also features a graphical electrode turning tool to help keep track of the depth and signal quality of your electrodes, a live control interface with Cheetah (The Neuralynx digital data acquisition system), and a command sequencer (e.g. to send precisely timed TTL pulses, or other commands to Cheetah). You can also take pictures and movies with a webcam, record sounds and interface with other programs such as Matlab.
Fun Stuff
- CA1-Pyramidal cell ringtone for IPhone. One pass through the place field of a CA1 pyramidal cell during a cued spatial task (Brown Norway/Fisher 344 hybrid rat). Data obtained and processed in the laboratory.
