Spike Hound
The Spike Hound Oscilloscope |
Spike Hound (formerly g-PRIME) is a data acquisition, Stimulus Generation, Instrument Control, and real time analysis package designed for use
in physiology research and education where continuous multi-channel data is acquired and discrete events are analyzed.
The software allows for connection to a broad range of popular data acquisition hardware from high end,
calibrated data acquisition boards to the sound card in your computer. Spike Hound allows for signal visualization,
real-time filter applications, audio output to a monitor, and data logging with associated meta-data.
Spike Hound replaces and exceeds the functionality of several classical bench-top tools including the
oscilloscope and arbitrary function generator. Spike Hound offers many powerful features for scientific
visualization with a user friendly interface developed in a feedback process with neurophysiology
researchers and students at the university level. Development has continued under researcher driven feedback
at the HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus in cutting edge neuroscience applications.
This software is written in the Matlab(r) scientific programming environment, but is compiled as a
stand-alone program (Windows ONLY) and does not require a Matlab license. As such, it supports all
of the hardware supported by the Matlab Data Acquisition Toolbox. The source code (.m file) is also available
for download for users who desire to customize the tool to their application. Development in this form WILL
require a Matlab license.
