Have you read the latest BRAIN Initiative Alliance newsletter? BRAIN scientists are invited to share their tools with the scientific community in the Toolmakers Newsletter. These newsletters spotlight BRAIN Initiative investigators with tools, technologies, or theories ready for distribution to the research community to advance neurotechnology.
The BRAIN Initiative Alliance (BIA) released its second Toolmakers Newsletter of 2023! This issue highlights four neuroscience tools and developments and showcases the scientists who are using them to make great strides in neuroscience:
-
3D Multi-Electrode Arrays by Dr. Samuel Sober, electromyography (EMG) electrodes that are helping to record EMG signals from the muscle surfaces of animals to study neurophysiology.
-
NeuroTools by Dr. Kimberly Ritola, a collection of viral vectors that can be custom ordered to assist with marking, mapping, and manipulating neural circuits.
-
The Brain Image Library by Dr. Alexander Ropelewski and Dr. Alan Watson, a repository capable of accommodating submission, archiving, analyses, and visualization of petabyte-scale microscopy datasets.
-
DeepLabCut by Dr. Alexander Mathis and Dr. Mackenzie Mathis, a software tool for motion capture and animal behavioral analyses that uses deep learning to compute post estimates with minimal training data.
