EXP: a Macintosh program for automating data acquisition and analysis applied to neurophysiology.
EXP is a Macintosh program for doing quantitative neurophysiology. It supports signal design, simultaneous signal output and data collection, spike sorting, histogram production, and many other analysis features. The hierarchical structure used to design protocols provides a straightforward method for designing complex experiments. The degree of automation supported by the program makes it possible to perform large-scale experiments and to collect and analyze large quantities of data in a reasonable amount of time. It has been used successfully in a large number of experimental paradigms by several different researchers. EXP is one of several cooperative programs designed to help perform neurophysiological experiments. These programs can be used in tandem not only to collect and analyze data but to help interpret and present results as well. The programs contain mechanisms to encourage re-analysis or 'virtual experiments' on data collected previously by oneself or other researchers.
