-
BackgroundMany neurophysiological studies require the precise acquisition and control of analog and digital data. As new applications have continued to emerge, however, many have forsaken true (or hard) real-time control and response in favor of simplicity, extended functionality, alternative operating systems, and/or user-friendly design. Those systems that have maintained real-time support (e.g., TEMPO, Spike2) are often costly, proprietary, and require additional code in order to define specific experiments.TechnologyThis system provides precisely timed auditory and visual stimuli to a subject while recording analog data and timestamps of neural activity retrieved from a window discriminator. The system then utilizes the most recent real-time technology in order to provide not only a guaranteed data acquisition rate of 1 kHz, but a much more difficult to achieve guaranteed system response time of 1 millisecond. The system interface is windows-based and easy to use, providing a host of configurable options for end-user customization.Applications: * Neurophysiological studiesAdvantages:* Flexible* Intuitive interface * Has true real-time power* Accurate * Reliable
