Data acquisition and analysis system for intracellular neuronal signals.

A comprehensive system for the acquisition and analysis of neurophysiological data is described, with a focus on intracellular data. The software comprising the system will evaluate a number of neuronal signals, including intracellular as well as extracellular recordings from neurons, evoked potentials and computer simulation data. Significant enhancements enable sampling at high resolution (50 kHz throughput to disk; +/- 15 bit or 96 db), concurrent with extensive on-line analysis capabilities and display. Modifications of existing software and development of new types of input and output devices and analysis can be incorporated as needed, using a binary digital database as the primary storage for the experimental signals and device-independent graphics.
