The SpikerBox
The
SpikerBox is now being manufactured! We are
accepting orders now! How does it work? We can explain that in 4 simple steps. Follow the instructions below to see how you could use the Spikerbox in your home or classroom!
Step 1: Prepare for the experiment by removing a leg from a cockroach (don't worry... they can grow back!). |
Step 2: Place the two electrodes from the Spikerbox kit into the leg. Rest the leg on the cork board, so the needles have a place to stick to. |
Step 3: Turn on the Spikerbox and listen to the neurons! You can also connected it to your computer to record. |
Step 4: Learn from the experiment. Look at the different shapes of waveforms. How many types do you see? Was there a difference when you touched the leg barbs? Did it matter which direction it was brushed? |
