Open Source Neuro

For this new year, we are proud to announce the launch of Spikeling v3 ! Spikeling is an Open-Source neuroscience education platform that brings a patch-clamp-style electrophysiology workflow into the classroom. #Neuroscience #OpenScience #OpenHardware #Education

Yesterday was #purpleday, the global epilepsy awareness day. Learn about mechanisms of seizure occurence in epilepsy with a 2-minutes Spikeling workshop ! #Neuroscience #Education #Epilepsy

See how we explore neuronal logic with a quick Spikeling circuit workshop — Part 1. #LogicalGating

Spikeling brings these core principles of neuronal computation, at the intersection of neurophysiology and computer science.

Neural computation emerges from physical processes in biological circuits. #Neuroscience #ComputerScience #NeuronalCircuits

- to offer hands-on experience to the whole classroom, instead of just for a few students lucky enough to get an internship with wet-lab experience. #CalciumImaging

We hope to integrate Spikeling workshops as a complement to electrophysiology lectures in neuroscience and biomedical sciences programs -

Yesterday for @OpenSourceNeuro, Paul Rignanese was presenting a poster and a live demo of Spikeling at the Institute for Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research Early Career Researcher Day at the The @EdinburghUni ! #Neuroscience #BiomedicalSciences

- Signal preprocessing, see how to handle different types of noise and cleanup your data before extracting spikes. Stay tuned for advancements ! #Neuropixel

See how your Spikeling neuron firing action potentials would look like in a extracellular ephys setup live. Features : - Spatial integration, see how the electrode placement relative to the neuron impacts the extracellular field recordings, determining for spike sorting. #Ephys

Spikeling v3 feature reveal : a new module ! After current clamp, voltage clamp, calcium imaging, we are implementing an extracellular tetrode recording module ! #Neuroscience #CalciumImaging

@EdinburghUni This workshop is meant to act as a facillitator to fuel collaboration between behavioural and neuronal research, an essential aspect of neuroscience. Thanks to everyone involved ! #CalciumImaging #Neuroscience

@EdinburghUni Spikeling allows people from outside the field of Neurophysiology to grasp essential concepts such as membrane voltage dynamics, synaptic integration, patching electrophysiology, or calcium imaging to relate with the electrophysiology team.

Interplay of behaviour and neurophysiology is at the core of neuroscience, and collaboration of ethologists and neurophysiologists is crutial. #Ethology #Neurophysiology

@TReNDinAfrica A simple floor map (hand → spinal cord → brain) and real-time spike activity the young students could see and even hear. A practical way to show what neurons do and what neurophysiology researchers measure. #NeuroscienceEducation #Neurophysiology #TReNDinAfrica

Last summer in Ghana, during a @TReNDinAfrica outreach event in the exchange program between the VIB-KU Leuven Center For Neuroscience and the University of Ghana , we used Spikeling to show pain propagation mechanisms to kids -

OSN promotes neuroscience access with open, low-cost tools for education, training, and outreach, especially where conventional neurophysiology setups aren’t available. #ScienceOutreach #OpenScience #OpenHardware
