在清醒的行为灵长类动物(包括人类和非人类)的神经生理学研究中，越来越多地关注神经信号和行为之间的时间关系。因此，实验室经常面临开发能够支持高时间精度的数据记录并且足够灵活地适应各种实验范例的实验设备的问题。为此，我们开发了一个MATLAB工具箱，它集成了几个现代设备，但仍然赋予实验者高级编程语言的灵活性。我们的工具箱利用了三种流行且功能强大的技术：用于神经生理记录的Plexon仪器(Plexon，Inc.，Dallas，TX，USA)，用于控制模拟、数字和视频输入输出信号的Datapixx外围设备(VPixx Technologies，Saint-Bruno，QC，加拿大)，以及用于刺激产生的心理工具箱MatLab工具箱(Brainard，；Pelli，Kleiner et al.)。PLDAPS(“Platypus”)系统旨在支持在多电极神经生理记录过程中清醒的行为灵长类动物的视觉系统的研究，但也可以很容易地应用于其他相关领域。尽管PLDAPS系统具有广泛的功能和对尖端视频显示和神经记录系统的支持，但对于具有基本MATLAB编程技能的人来说，设计自己的实验非常简单。
Neurophysiological studies in awake, behaving primates (both human and non-human) have focused with increasing scrutiny on the temporal relationship between neural signals and behaviors. Consequently, laboratories are often faced with the problem of developing experimental equipment that can support data recording with high temporal precision and also be flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of experimental paradigms. To this end, we have developed a MATLAB toolbox that integrates several modern pieces of equipment, but still grants experimenters the flexibility of a high-level programming language. Our toolbox takes advantage of three popular and powerful technologies: the Plexon apparatus for neurophysiological recordings (Plexon, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), a Datapixx peripheral (Vpixx Technologies, Saint-Bruno, QC, Canada) for control of analog, digital, and video input–output signals, and the Psychtoolbox MATLAB toolbox for stimulus generation (Brainard,; Pelli,; Kleiner et al.,). The PLDAPS (“Platypus”) system is designed to support the study of the visual systems of awake, behaving primates during multi-electrode neurophysiological recordings, but can be easily applied to other related domains. Despite its wide range of capabilities and support for cutting-edge video displays and neural recording systems, the PLDAPS system is simple enough for someone with basic MATLAB programming skills to design their own experiments.
