Catalog Number: 55-50-0B
The Experiment Control Module (ECM) provides a hardware solution for coordination of all instrumentation in any stimulus-response setup. Interfaces with MATLAB and Visual Basic using ActiveX integration.
The Experiment Control Module (ECM) provides a hardware solution for coordination of all instrumentation in any stimulus-response setup. Allows the user to easily plan entire experiment protocols as an arbitrarily complex state machine.
Features:
• Centralized real-time coordination and control of the experiment (neural recording, behavioral monitoring and recording, stimulus presentation, and reward systems)
• Intuitive programming of the entire experiment as a finite state machine
• Shortens experiment setup time by integrating smoothly with standard widely used applications (such as Visual Basic and MATLAB) using ActiveX integration
• No new programming language to learn
• Real-time experiments through non real-time computer operating systems, such as Windows
• Triggered presentation of stimuli or feedback based upon real-time analysis of behavioral data input
• Capability for use as a training aid
• Easy integration with existing systems
