Scientific Software
In the course of my research work at Caltech, I’ve developed some software that
may be of use to other researchers:
- Meabench is a suite of programs to acquire and analyze recordings
from multi-electrode arrays. It can be used for real-time as well as off-line
analysis, and is written with extendibility in mind.
- Dishlog is a database program to keep track of MEA dishes. When
several people in a lab make use of the same collection of dishes, it
is desirable if they note their observations in a common forum. Using
Dishlog this is easy. Users can note down what they did to a dish from
any computer, and search through the database using a range of search
terms.
All of this software was developed for the linux operating system.
Porting it to other unix variants should be straightforward. This software
is free, and licensed using the GPL.
Other software and computer related things
I use this space to list some other bits and pieces that might be of use
to others. These have no relation to my scientific work.
- vmcut-0.0.1: A program to cut Ogg Vorbis
sound files into many segments, based on Michael Smith’s vcut (part of
vorbis-tools). Currently the only documentation is
obtained by running the program with “--help”, but it is really
straightforward, so just take a look and you’ll figure it out.
