Neurophysiology acquisition and analysis for Python

http://www.acq4.org

ACQ4 is a platform for data acquisition, management, and analysis in neurophysiology experiments, especially focusing on patch clamp electrophysiology, optogenetics, and related techniques. It is used both as a platform for developing customized data acquisition tools and as an application that handles the most common requirements in whole-cell recording, calcium imaging, and photostimulation.

Requirements

  • python 2.7
  • PyQt 4.9+
  • numpy, scipy
  • six
  • h5py
  • optional:
    • pyopengl
    • pyserial

  2. Install the correct versions of a few packages:

       $ conda install pyserial pyqt=4 pyparsing=2.0.3
  1. Clone the ACQ4 source repository::
       $ git clone https://github.com/acq4/acq4.git
  1. Run python -m acq4 from the source directory, or install with python setup.py install and run using acq4.
