CORE--ELECTRONIC SERVICES

电子核心服务模块(ECSM)提供制造新设备以及诊断和维修现有设备的服务。对于不能在商业上获得或适应的仪器或设备，ECSM将与核心调查人员合作，设计、修改和制造特定实验方法所需的电子设备。在大多数情况下，这些都涉及神经生理学研究所需的电子设备。ECSM提供的另一项关键服务是实验室设备的诊断和维修。很多时候需要紧急维修服务，核心工程师能够 在几个小时内对停机作出响应，以诊断和/或修复仪器并使其恢复服务。ECSM被安置在最近翻新的车间里，专门供模块工程师使用，并配备了所有必要的电子表和手动工具。通过使用ECSM，核心科学家可以突破技术极限，尝试解决以前尚未解决的视觉科学问题的新想法和方法，从而改善了开展高质量研究的环境。

The Electronics Core Services Module (ECSM) provides services in the fabrication of new devices as well as in diagnosis and repair of existing equipment. For instruments or devices not commercially available or adaptable, the ECSM will work with core investigators to design, modify and fabricate electronic devices that are required for a given experimental approach. For the most part, these involve electronic devices required for neurophysiological studies. Another key service provided by the ECSM is the diagnosis and repair of laboratory equipment. Many times repair services are needed on an emergency basis, and the core engineer is able to respond to an outage in a matter of hours to diagnose and/or repair the instrument and return it to service. The ECSM is housed in a recently renovated shop dedicated for exclusive use of the module engineer and equipped with all the necessary electronic meters and hand tools. Access to the ECSM enhances the environment for conducting quality research by allowing core scientists to push the limits of technology in attempts to address new ideas and approaches to vision science problems that have not before been solved.
