NeuroScope

[Lynn Hazan]

We are pleased to announce the release of NeuroScope, an advanced 
viewer for electrophysiological and behavioral data with limited editing 
capabilities.

NeuroScope allows comparison of analyzed data with the original
recordings. It can display original and processed local field
potentials (EEG), action potentials recorded from single neurons on
groups of electrodes (e.g., tetrodes or multisite siliconprobes),
behavioral events, including 2 dimensional information (e.g., the
position of a rat).

NeuroScope was written by Lynn Hazan (lynn.hazan at myrealbox.com) in the
laboratory of Gyorgy Buzsaki at Rutgers University
(http://osiris.rutgers.edu), in collaboration with the laboratory of
Kenneth D. Harris (http://qneuro.rutgers.edu) and is released under
the GNU General Public Licence (www.gnu.org).

NeuroScope offers many features enabling the user to explore neuronal
recordings:
* Selection and grouping of channels according to post-hoc anatomical or 
  physiological information
* Selection and grouping of channels for spike sorting and other treatments
* Color-coding of traces or groups
* Fast and easy navigation in the data, by steps, specific time or markers
* Temporal and amplitude zooms
* Superimposition of post-hoc data (e. g., spike rasters, events) on original 
  or filtered traces
* Editing of behavioral events
* Display of the positions of the animal for the currently selected timeframe
* Multiple displays of parallel or sequentially recorded sets
* Storage in XML format of recording parameters (groups, colors) for 
  subsequent analyses
* Session management (XML format)
* Ergonomic user interface for maximum speed.

NeuroScope is written in C++ for Linux under the KDE environment. The 
program, source code, and full documentation are available at
