Plexon provides a comprehensive platform for conducting neuroscience research in a wide array of experimental preparations, including freely-moving and head-fixed rodents (rats, mice) and primates, cell cultures, and brain slices. Plexon systems filter, amplify, record, and analyze action potentials (spikes) and local field potentials (LFPs) from implanted microelectrodes and microwires, surface EEG signals, EMG signals, and a variety of digital event and video data.
Plexon systems are capable of both real-time and off-line spike sorting and analyses. Real-time analysis allows the researcher to modify experimental protocols and stimuli, or electrode position, in real-time based on the outcome of the analyses.
Analysis of neural signals relative to external events and stimuli enable the study of the neural mechanisms underlying:
- Sensory perception
- Motor control
- Attention, cognition, and decision-making
- Learning and memory
|
- Emotional processing
- Drug and toxin effects
- Neuroprosthetics and brain-machine interfaces
