TR Control.zip

這個腳本和相關聯的序列是與Telemetry Research介面互動的例子。腳本可以創建一個工具欄，允許用戶控制取樣，設置記錄週期和間隙的長度。

1401的0號數位輸出端應連接到Telemetry Research發射機的觸發輸入端，DAC 0連接到外部通道選擇輸入端，選擇1到12之間的通道。然後將你想要取樣的信號連接到DAC 0。

這個腳本要求Spike2 v5.17或更高版本。

Lick 02.zip

This online script is intended for training a laboratory animal to respond to a stimulus by providing a reward when the desired behaviour is elicited within a specified time window. The script triggers the test stimulus at random intervals, records the behaviour and triggers reward delivery when the required criteria are met. The script also generates counts and plots vs. time of: "hits", "misses", "false positives" and "rejections" (where a rejection is a lack of response in random time windows between stimuli.

Specifically, the script is designed for studies of the type described by Paricio-Montecinos et al (2020). Here the stimulus is innocuous warming or cooling of the glabrous skin of a thirsty mouse's forepaw. The behaviour monitored is licking the spout of a water bottle and the reward is water, only delivered in response to licks during the thermal stimulus. Such studies aim to investigate perceptual thresholds and peripheral and central neural mechanisms of thermo-sensitivity.

The script might, with small modifications, also be useful for other learning or Go/No Go studies that involve different stimuli, behaviour and rewards, e.g. visual cues eliciting lever presses for a food reward.

Requirements:
Hardware - Micro 1401 MkII or higher (plus appropriate hardware to generate the stimulus and provide the reward when triggered).

Software - Spike2 v9.19 or higher

該程式允許用戶對波形通道採樣設置中的量程和偏移量進行校準。首先創建一個採樣設置文件（或用原有文件），然後運行程式。 您可以將採樣資料寫入臨時的資料檔案。 資料採樣過程中，您應該讓待校準的波形在確定的兩個不同水平上分別保持一段較短時間。

然後按 "Calibrate"（校準）按鈕。這樣您就可以選擇通道波形的兩個水平段，指定它們的數值應該是多少。 然後程式將更改通道採樣設置的量程和偏移量，以符合您指定的數值。
