Re: Neurorighter

Ben- I'm forwarding your message to the neurorighter listserv, as I think it might be of use to the community

1) NeuroRighter is not under active development at this time, but this listserv, the google sites page <https://sites.google.com/site/neurorighter/>, and the google code page <https://code.google.com/p/neurorighter/> are all resources for support for NeuroRighter.  We are currently moving NeuroRighter's code over to github (as google code is being retired)- there will be an announcement to this listserv once that is completed, but should be within a week or so.

2) for non-neurorighter hardware: NeuroRighter's software is primarily organized around using NI-DAQs for signal acquisition and generation.  As such, generally speaking, it is possible to use NR with other amplifiers/analog equipment with some careful tinkering/tweaking of system parameters (as well as a thorough understanding of the NeuroRighter wiring system).  However, if you are looking into equipment that includes an acquisition component (IE, an ADC), or does some multiplexing (such as Intan's chip), adapting NeuroRighter to your purposes will be more difficult and would require some coding.  For an open-source alternative for Intan specifically, check out open-ephys: http://www.open-ephys.org/ and puggleboard: http://www.puggleboard.com/

3) The best documentation for NeuroRighter's custom hardware is still available on the google sites page <https://sites.google.com/site/neurorighter/>.  Beyond that, sending questions to this listserv (or checking the archives here <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/neurorighter-users>

hope that answers your questions!

Hi,
I'm curious about the status of Neurorighter software, and also with
what hardware it is compatible? If there is up to date documentation
for these questions, please feel free to point me in the right
direction.

Specifically, I'm curious how NR interfaces with existing
extracellular in vivo recording hardware, for example Intan systems
using Neuronexus probes (but I'm interested in the general approach
too).

Back when I first learned about NR, there were open source parts lists
and PCB schematics for making rec+stim systems yourself, for in vivo
closed loop experiments. Is that effort ongoing?

Thank you for your time,
Ben.
