Extracellular Electrophysiology Acquisition#
Introduction#
This course is designed to provide a thorough understanding of extracellular electrophysiology, a branch for studying the electrical activity of neurons and other excitable cells. It includes recorded lectures with hands-on electronics exercises to ensure that you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Note
We want to thank Open Ephys team for creating this course. Their hard work and expertise in developing and sharing this material are greatly appreciated. You can find the original course at OE Ephys Course.
Materials for students#
