Acquisition and Analysis

 
      AxoGraph X - by Axograph Scientific (John Clements, low cost)
     Can do LTP analyses of Axon *.ABF files (and WinLTP ADsweep files)
     Axograph for Windows is available
     Uses M-Series and Axon Digidata 132x boards
 

AxoScope - by Molecular Devices (formerly Axon Instruments, can be freely downloaded)

     Use to view WinLTP generated gap-free Axon Binary Files (*.ABF). 

     Use to extract sections in WinLTP generated generated gap-free Axon Binary Files (*.ABF)
     Uses Axon Digidata 132x boards
  
GePulse - by Michael Pusch of Istituto di Biofisica CNR (free)
     Uses M-Series boards
 

jClamp - by Joseph Santos-Sacchi of SciSoft and Yale University (low cost)
     Uses Axon Digidata 132x boards
 

LTP Program - by William W. Anderson of WinLTP Ltd and University of Bristol (free)

     A program for ISA bus computers using Digidata 1200, Labmaster and other inexpensive boards
  

Nclamp - by Angus Silver's lab at the University College London (free)
     Is an IGOR program
     Uses M-Series boards
 
Slice - by Lee, DiMattina, and Sanes at New York University (free) 
     Is an IGOR program
  

WinWCP  and WinEDR (Strathclyde Electrophysiology Suite) - John Dempster (free to academics)

Analysis Only

 
    

Chronux - by Partha Mitra's laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories (free)
     Digital signal processing for electrophysiological signals using MATLAB
  

DataView - by Bill Heitler at the University of St. Andrews (low cost)

     Use to detect spontaneous events in WinLTP generated generated gap-free Axon Binary Files

     Good for detecting spontaneous epileptic events

     Detected events can then be saved to ASCII txt files and reanalyzed with WinLTP
  
Klustakwick - by Ken Harris at Rutgurs University (free)
  
NeuroScope and Klusters - by Hazan, Zugaro and Buzsáki at State Univ. of New Jersey, Newark (free)
  

MiniAnalysis Program - by Justin Lee of Synaptosoft (low cost)

     Use to detect spontaneous events in WinLTP generated generated gap-free Axon Binary Files
     Can get decay constants for multiple spontaneous or triggered synaptic potentials

     Can do LTP analyses of Axon *.ABF files (and WinLTP ADsweep files)
     

StimFit32 - by Christoph Schmidt-Hieber (of the Peter Jonas lab) ( free)
     Can get decay constants for synaptic potentials, event detection, power spectrum

     Can directly analyze single sweep WinLTP ADsweep data files, and Axon Binary Files (*.ABF)

 

Other Interesting Stuff

 
     

David Colquhoun's single channel analysis programs (free to academic users)
 
MATLAB Data Acquisition Tool Box
     Uses M-Series boards  
  

QUB - by the Qin, Sachs and Auerbach labs at the State University of New York at Buffalo (free)
     Used for single channel data acquisition and analysis
     Uses M-Series boards

 

* 

I arbitrarily define low cost as a liscense for a program costing less than $1000 per copy.  Most of these low cost programs are well below that.
