The recent post on ripple noise generated some comments and additional discussion. Go check out the comments on that post. For example, Peter Rupprecht shared some snapshots an oscilloscope display showing the signal from the…
Andrew Lim wrote in to discuss strategies on dealing with ripple noise in 2-photon imaging systems, particularly when using resonant scanners. He writes:
This isn’t so much a tip as a problem with resonant two-photon…
A world-class in vivo patch clamp electrophysiologist, Ian Duguid, is recruiting to his lab. Ian provides excellent training, and his lab is in a tremendous setting: Edinburgh. Ian’s also one…
Sanworks has a whole series of devices for behavior experiments. Everything is open source and well documented. You can also pay them to assemble the devices if you choose.

RayLab is an iOS app (iPhone/iPad) for optics analysis. It has some nice features– more than I expected. It’s a nice piece of work! For many practical applications it cannot replace conventional optic design software…
Peter Weir has a nice write up and directions on how to make the fly holder from his recent paper. He has some other useful notes that are worth checking out too: github,…
aBioBot is an open source liquid handling (i.e., pipetting) robot platform with integrated machine vision. The system can deal with multiple tube types, and detect if a tip falls off.

Dmitriy Aronov, while postdocing in David Tank’s lab at Princeton, developed a virtual reality engine that runs in MATLAB called ViRMEn. It’s open and there’s a good amount of documentation. The…
Slack is very useful team coordination software. It’s been such a help in my own lab, that I suspect that given a properly configured Slack account, I could simultaneously run GE, Google, Intel, and…
Orange is a user friendly, graphical data mining package built with Python, from the University of Ljubljana. Check it out. They have a good blog for the project…
Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders is having its annual Neurotechnology Symposium May 2nd and 3rd, 2016 in Leuven, Belgium.
This year the focus is on “Read- Modify- Write” technologies for interfacing with neural circuits.

There’s a project in Sacha Nelson’s lab at Brandeis to generate and characterize enhancer trap mice for studying neural circuitry. They have a nice online searchable database of the lines they’ve generated,…
Results are similar to the slow version of TurboReg, but it runs about twice as fast as the fast version of TurboReg.
Here’s the paper.
Here’s the code.

Peng Xi (Peking University) shared this resource his lab has developed: software for processing images for structured illumination (a superresolution technique).
Here’s the Github repository.
And here’s the paper…
