TRAINING: MULTICHANNEL ELECTRODES & SILICON SUBSTRATE PROBES

重要的是，即使是经验丰富的神经生理学家， 在使用探头之前接受一定程度的教育或培训。 我们 探测目录有探测过程的简短描述，急性和 慢性组装技术，多通道放大器原理图， 可用的探针设计和描述探针的相关出版物 制造和使用。 使用此目录和初步咨询 通过电话或电子邮件，经验丰富的神经生理学家可以 基本的急性实验往往是成功的。 电子邮件别名 我们所有的用户都可以使用， 相互沟通，并广播可能已经被 由其他用户解决。 我们的网页亦载有有关资料 第一次使用甚至更高级的探测器用户。 的用户 特殊需要和/或困难的准备工作，请访问我们的 一对一咨询机构。 在这第四个年头， 资助期间，中心在学会举办了一次卫星研讨会 参加神经科学会议 这次研讨会题为“发展中国家的新情况”， 多通道记录和刺激”，包括关于 中心提供的探头以及其他电极技术。 更 150多人参加了研讨会。

It is important that even experienced neurophysiologists undergo some level of education or training prior to use of the probes. Our probe catalog has short descriptions of the probe process, acute and chronic assembly techniques, a multichannel amplifier schematic, the available probe designs and relevant publications describing probe fabrication and use. Using this catalog and initial consultation on the phone or through email, the experienced neurophysiologist can often be successful with basic acute experiments. An E-mail alias which goes to all of our users has been useful for allowing them to communicate with each other and broadcast problems which may have been solved by other users. Our webpage also contains information relevant to first-time and even more advanced probe users. Users who have special needs and/or difficult preparations are invited to visit our institution for one-on-one consultation. During this fourth year of the grant period, the Center held a satellite symposium at the Society for Neuroscience meeting. The symposium, titled "New Developments in Mulitchannel Recording and Stimulation," included presentations on Center-supplied probes as well as other electrode technologies. More than 150 people attended the symposium.
