|---|---|
| matlab-tools | Fork Matlab Tools Analysis Tools MATLAB scripts for analysis of data acquired using RTXI. The file contains several functions for loading data from an HDF file and it within MATLAB. Example use of the scripts is in a file called example.m. Load it and edit it as you need. Make sure the PATH variable is set to include the analysis-tools directory. Also, the data given to the scripts NEED to have PARAMETER-type variables defined. |
| neuron | This is the classic Hodgkin-Huxley model neuron. For best results, make sure your rate of integration is a multiple of your real-time period (or vice versa). |
| connor-stevens | The Connor Stevens model neuron is like the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron, but with slightly different kinetics for the fast sodium and potassium delayed-rectifier channels and an additional A-type potassium channel (Dayan and Abbott, Theoretical Neuroscience, Ch. 6). These changes give the Connor Stevens neuron Type I excitability such that it can achieve arbitrarily low spike rates. This feature may make this model more useful for testing custom modules than the Hodgkin-Huxley model neuron. |
| plugin-template | This is the plugin template, also known in previous versions as MyPluginGUI. It is designed to provide a simplified interface with which anyone fork into custom RTXI modules. For instructions and tutorials regarding its use, see the documentation on our website. |
| auto-pi | This module controls the Intespike interval (ISI) of a neuron using a Proportional Integral controller. The model automatically tunes the PI controller parameters to the neuron. The goal of the PI controller is to make small changes in current at each action potential onset to maintain the neuron at a target firing rate. This spike rate controller is designed to offset drift in the firing rate on the order of 10s of seconds to minutes. This module requires input from the “Spike Detector” mo... |

For each complete cycle through all the command currents, the plot symbol will change. The firing rate is computed by taking the reciprocal of the average ISI detected during a command input. Plotting the f-I curve wi... |
| camera-control | Adequate description pending. The precise purpose of this module is currently undetermined. It presumably interfaces with a voltage-contolled lamp and sets parameters regarding image acquisition, such as frame rate, delays, etc. |
| dynamic-clamp-file | This module applies a conductance waveform that has already been saved in ASCII format. It uses the current real-time period to determine the length of the trial, sampling one row from the ASCII file at each time step. If you use it with the Spike Detector module, you can view a raster plot in real-time of spike times for each trial. Simply use the connector module to send the command signals from the spike detector to the spike state channel in this module. |

| fir-window | This module creates an in-line FIR filter that can be applied to any signal in RTXI. Given the desired number of filter taps (filter order + 1), it computes the impulse response for a lowpass, highpass, bandpass, or bandstop filter using the window method. For a lowpass or highpass filter, the module uses the first frequency as the cut-off frequency. For a bandpass or bandstop filter, both input frequencies are used to define the frequency band. The module initially computes an ideal FIR fi... |
| gen-net | This plugin implements a framework for Hybrid Network experiments. Hybrid networks entail the coupling of biological circuit elements with simulated ones.

If you change the real-time period, the length of the trial is recomputed. This module automatically pauses itself when the protocol is complete. If you are using ... |
| hfac | This module implements a protocol for performing conduction block experiments on nerve fibers using high frequency AC current (HFAC) stimuli. Action potentials in the nerve are evoked with a single biphase square pulse and the HFAC signal is a sinusoidal waveform. You have an option to select which component of the biphase pulse occurs first. The “Single AP Stim” button is used to send a single pulse that can be used to elicit individual responses.

They require the following parameters: Butterworth: passband edge Chebyshev: passband ripple, passband edge Elliptical: passband ripple, stopband ripple, passband edge, stopband edge You may save the computed coefficients and the filter’s parameters to a file. The Butterworth filter is the best compromise between attenuation and phase response. It has no ripple in the pass band or the stop band, and because of this is someti... |
| current-scale-dclamp | This module is used to inject artificial conductances into a guinea pig cardiomyocytes through dynamic current clamp. An embedded guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocyte model is voltage clamped to the membrane potential of a patch clamped cardiomyocyte. Using one of the calculated currents of the model, an artificial current is scaled and injected into the patch clamped cell. This allows for artificial block or increase of a particular current through dynamic clamp. Currently, the Livshitz Ru... |
| current-hold | This module outputs a static value set by the user. Nothing else. This is an extremely simple module. |
| current-ramp | Outputs a current ramp to the cell. The duration of the ramp (rise and fall) is set via the Time parameter, along with the starting and peak current for the ramp. The module, when the "RAMP!!!" button is pressed, will initiate the ramp. If the "Record data" checkbox is set and the data recorder is already open and ready to write channels to a file, starting the ramp will also record data for its duration. If the module is unpaused and a ramp button is inactive, then it s... |
| current-step | This plugin allows you to deliver a series of current step commands. |
| phase-response-curve | This module applies an alpha-shaped conductance to the cell at a fixed delay after 10 interspike intervals (ISI). It computes an intrinsic period P0 by averaging the most recent 5 of 10 ISIs. Thus, the value of P0 can change over time. The period after the perturbed period is designated as P1 and the period following P1 is designated as P2. The first and second order PRCs are computed as PRC1=(P1-P0)/P0 and PRC2=(P2-P0)/P0. By this convention, a delay in the spike yield a positive value and... |

Will reset if cell hasn’t spike since the minimum interval In addition, you can set a refractory period, the minimum interval that must go by before an... |
| spike-rate-control | This module is designed to stabilize spike rates around a user-specified ISI. It reads in the spike state of a connected spike detector module and, depending on the state of the detector and the specified ISI, outputs a current. The amplitude is determined by comparing the error between real ISI and the target. When error oscillates around the target, output is small, but when error increases, the output increases in amplitude. |
| spike-statistics | This module contains a spike detector based on a positive threshold crossing (see SpikeDetect module). It computes the average ISI and the current coefficient of variation. These values are continuously updated with each spike until the statistics are reset with the button. |
| ttl-pulses | This module generates a train of TTL pulses (0-5 V square wave). It can be connected to either an analog or digital output channel to trigger external hardware. You should check the voltage range of your DAQ card to make sure that it can handle 0-5 V. |
| alpha-synapse | This module creates an artificial synapse where the fixed conductance change is described by an alpha function. This conductance is triggered by an event indicated by a value of “1″ on input(1). This can be used to generate a spike-triggered synaptic connection using the Spike Detector module. Use the connector module to connect the spike state output of the spike detector to the spike state input of this one. |
| coupling | This module reciprocally couples two neurons with alpha synapses. It requires the membrane potential of both cells and the inputs from two spike detector modules (eg. Spike Detect). It outputs the two synaptic currents which must then be appropriately connected. This module can be used to couple two biological neurons or one biological neuron with a model neuron. To couple the neurons, the module should be unpaused, then the “Couple Neurons” toggle button can be activated/deactivated. This ... |

Only the relevant parameters are used to gen... |
| kick | This module sends a single value as a trigger or “kick” to another module. It outputs a user-specified value when triggered and a value of 0 otherwise. It can be used to manually mark events that a user sees in the data. It’s value in the HDF5 file will then serve as an event flag. This module can also be used to manually test other modules that require a trigger (such as those accepting input from the Spike Detector module). This module only sends a single “kick” at the specified delay aft... |

| clamp-protocol | Use this module to create and run custom clamp protocols. There are three components to the module: 1. The main window 2. The protocol editor 3. The protocol window The main window opens and runs user-defined protocols. The editor is a widget that uses the built-in protocol class to create current/voltage steps, trains, or ramps. The window overlays traces of responses to protocol stimulation. |
