Sometimes you need your results right away. One example is when subsequent experiments are tailored to the properties of neurons in the population at hand. Here is a simple Scanbox plugin that computes an orientation map preference on a pixel-by-pixel basis as the data are collected. The variable mmfile.Data.header(4) indicates if a stimulus is being…

Scanbox Searches for a Population
In some instances, people need to image the same population of neurons across days. It can be easy to go back to approximately the same position, but finding the best alignment can be time consuming. Now Scanbox provides a plugin that searches for the optimal location and automatically moves the microscope to the estimated position,…
Read MoreSimultaneous imaging with port and behavior cameras
If you have one of the new systems (aka as the pizza box) you can now acquire imagery simultaneously from the port camera and the behavior cameras. During 2p imaging the behavior cameras are triggered at the beginning of a frame (TTL OUT 1x f.r.) or at the beginning and middle of a frame (TTL…
