Hardware

Digital I/O - Bit Input

Read a digital input from the RZ into Synapse.

Digital I/O - Word Input

Read an 8-bit digital word input from the RZ into Synapse.

Add USB Camera to Rig

Configure the Rig in Synapse to record from a USB camera.

Important

If using more than two cameras, put the second on a different USB bus.

Add BH32 to Rig for Synapse API

Configure the Rig in Synapse to record from a BH32 Behavioral Control box.

Gizmo Examples

Using Accumulator

Accumulate the total RMS of an LFP signal every second. Present an auditory stimulus if total RMS exceeds a threshold.

Make a Custom Gizmo

See how to make a custom gizmo in Synapse.

Channel Mapper

Learn how to create channel maps using the Mapper gizmo in Synapse. Select map based on adapter, electrode, or headstage to route signals to the proper channels.

Neural Referencer Gizmo

Use the Neural Referencer Gizmo for simple single channel digital referencing.

Neural Stream Processor

Use the Neural Stream Processor Gizmo for easy multi-option filtering and storage of data streams. Also see how filters can be controlled during runtime.

Pulse Gen with TTL Output

Use the Pulse Generator Gizmo to make dynamically-controlled pulse trains that can be output at TTL signals to control external devices like lasers.

State Maker

Learn how to create logical epoc outputs by testing digital I/O inputs using the State Maker gizmo in Synapse.

User Input

Use the User Input Gizmo to make user-defined triggers via software buttons, or to receive TTL bit inputs from the Digital I/O.
