Synapse

Getting Started #1: Setting Up the Rig

Launch Synapse and establish the hardware to software connection. Synapse auto-detects your TDT hardware and uses that information to streamline your experiment design. As you build your experiment, you won't have to think about the particulars of your hardware setup.

Getting Started #2: Edit Screen Overview

A guided tour of Synapse's user interface and an introduction to fundamental processes, like operational modes and user and subject tracking.

Getting Started #3: The Big Gestalt - Part 1

Get the big picture of how Synapse works and learn about the Processing Tree for experiment design.

Adjust experiment-specific hardware choices, such as the number of recording channels, operational modes, and input sources. As you make selections, Synapse updates the design-time window with relevant choices to complete your configuration.

Getting Started #4: The Big Gestalt - Part 2

Quickly and easily create experiments with Synapse software.

Getting Started #5: The Big Gestalt - Part 3

Complete implementation of our demo experiment and preview the run time interface.

Synapse provides function-specific gizmos and experiment templates to automate all but the highest level design steps. For maximum flexibility, build your own custom gizmos.

Getting Started #6: Building Your First Experiment

Learn to build an experiment by selecting, adding, and configuring gizmos. This video covers experiment specific hardware settings and different methods of ordering gizmos in the Processing Tree.

Getting Started #7: Synapse Runtime

Find out more about Synapse runtime mode, persistence, and user layouts.
