On-line Computation in Behavioral Neurophysiology

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter presents several applications of the computer as a tool that are significant in analysis very complex data come from brain systems. The discusses model tissue, which has three compartments. neural compartment is composed nerve cells. second component tricompartmental arrangement neuroglial compartment. Between neuroglia and neuron substance, hydrated net large molecules, mucopolysaccharides, mucoproteins, specially developed under synapses, plays role excitability cell. types collected for analysis. There two main varieties codes. One widely used laboratory can be generated 3-digit 4-bit member binary coded decimal (BCD). group codes includes so-called IRIG A B methods may give faster coding cycle, but not usually compatible their speed with typical EEG paper record because they written fast, thus cannot interpreted. first step preparation handling by involves analog-to-digital conversion. Secondly, sampling rate must bear relationship bandwidth data. modern converter electrophysiological studies incorporates multiplexing input to handle 10 30 channels Some computational techniques on-line; how much done depends upon size central processor mode access it. choose start simply averaging, or correlation analyses.
