RESEARCH APPLICATIONS: Overview

Understanding how neurons code and process information continues to be a major goal of neuroscientists. Improved understanding of the neural code will have a huge impact on both neuroscience and clinical neurology. Better understanding of the mechanisms of neural coding will almost certainly impact the treatment of many neurological disorders. In addition, artificial intelligence, neuro-morphic engineering, and neural networks applications will be greatly improved in their attempts to computationally emulate the processing done so elegantly and rapidly by even simple neural systems.

SUMMARY:
Analysis tools for ensemble spike train data are needed that can analyze a large number of responses without sacrificing temporal resolution that may contain key details of the information coding. Adding NeuroMAX to your research protocol provides access to a set of powerful, flexible, and supported tools to assist in your efforts to understand the neural code. These tools are grouped by function into the Spike Detection, Spike Sorting, Spike Train Analysis, and Display Tools toolboxes.
