Setting up the RZ6 for Fish ABR (with a hydrophone)

Tech Note: TN0941
Product: RZ6, BioSigRZ
Version: All
Date Added: 2014-08-25

Issue

When using the RZ6 to collect ABRs from fish, you will generally want lower frequencies and slower presentation rates than commonly found with other animals like rodents. You might also want to record the stimulus with a Hydrophone at the same time you record the ABR. This will require different signal, circuit, and configurations files that are not typically provided with BioSigRZ.

Solution

The files you will need, along with information on how to use them and how to calibrate with a hydrophone, are available in the ABR User Guide: https://www.tdt.com/docs/abr-user-guide/advanced-examples/#fish-abr-with-hydrophone
