Dario Ringach has written some nice software for the Trachtenberg scope mentioned before on Labrigger. They also have put together their own Cypress PSoC-based hardware box to control several parts of the system.
He set up…
As Labrigger mentioned earlier this week, ZappyLab is running a Kickstarter campaign to jump start their crowd-sourced protocol repository, Protocols.io.
Perhaps the most attractive reward they’re offering for pledging are the Black Russian…
This is exactly up the alley of what Labrigger is interested in supporting. There’s just one week left in their Kickstarter campaign. As of this writing, 300 people have contributed $30,000. With one final push this last week, they’ll meet their goal.
They want to crowd…
Christoph Schmidt-Hieber and his collaborators Guzman and Schlogel have developed a cross platform (Linux, Windows, and OS X) application for analyzing electrophysiology data. Here’s the paper (open access). And here’s the code’s…
Luke Campagnola, Megan Kratz, and Paul Manis recently published their in-house software for neurophysiology experiments. It’s an extensive set of tools, including multiphoton imaging, photostimulation mapping, image mosaic construction, electrophysiology, and more.

Nature Methods has a special on box plots, and in particular, the web app BoxPlotR.
Box plots are great. However, the conventions for box plots are not completely uniform (see below), and that can…
One of the first posts in this blog was on Processing. Processing is a programming language with an integrated development environment that is specialized for simplicity– ease of learning and coding–…
Colby Vorland coded this Chrome plugin called Lazy Scholar to make it easier to find full text versions of papers. It basically cross references a bunch of databases for you, to find information on…
Few things in biology take off like CRISPR genome engineering technology has recently. Feng Zhang’s lab…
It could be described as a GoogleDocs-type app for data analysis. But that would be a lazy description.
Import your data, code up the analysis and visualization, and then share with collaborators who can view, modify,…
My friend Bruno has written some very nice software for Scientifica’s two photon microscope systems. It’s called SciScan.
It’s written in LabVIEW and runs both their conventional galvo and resonant systems….
Someone recently asked me, “What’s a good way I can share my code?”
There are several ways you can go, of course. Here are the first two that popped into my mind.

Squarespace isn’t a…
Ian Nauhaus, whom UT Austin recently nabbed, is sharing his code for intrinsic imaging and visual stimulation.
The visual stimulation code is based off of Psychophysics Toolbox, which is already in use by…
The Helioscan paper is out now in J Neurosci Methods. Mentioned previously on Labrigger.
Here’s a Labrigger interview with the developers.
