Query: What are the features of Doric Neuroscience Studio (DNS)?
Context: Doric Neuroscience Studio (DNS) is an intuitive software that controls Doric hardware beside recording and analyzing optogenetics, fiber photometry, electrophysiology, and behavior camera data.
Any other behavior data (for instance pressing a key in the arena) that is obtained in voltages using a BNC cable (maximum 10 V) can be recorded by the Doric console either via DIO ports (if the data is on/off mode) or AIN port (for sinusoidal data) simultaneous with the photometry recording and be aligned in time. Above this voltage an extra adaptor is required to adjust the voltage level.
All information coming to console and then DNS will be saved as a single file with .Doric format, containing subfolders for each channel, and they can be loaded and analyzed all together later.
DNS software can livestream the data collection for all channels simultaneously.
The software also contains the following data analysis modules:
Signal Analysis module (fiber photometry ΔF/F, filters, arithmetics, spike finding, ...)
Behavior Analysis module (open-field tracking, motion score, and speed)
