A workstation interface for measuring interspike intervals.
A method is presented for collecting and storing, singly or in parallel, interspike intervals to a DOS-based workstation as a background process. The method comprises digital electronics and low-level software effecting an interface mechanism from the receipt of digital spike pulses to the recording of user-accessible data arrays readily manipulable by high-level software. Functional details, requirements, and application to parital cortex single unit physiology are discussed.
