DClamp Software


DClamp - Free data acquisition and analysis software for epilepsy animal research

The main goal of this project is to provide free, open-source data acquisition and analysis software to the epilepsy research community. Our goal is to establish a common platform to facilitate data exchange and cooperation between research centers. DClamp is designed for unsupervised detection of ictal-like and inter-ictal-like events in very large EEG datasets, for example from days to months of continuous recordings. It includes algorithms for automatic detection, quantification, and analysis of seizures (White et al. J Neurosci Methods, 15;152:255-66, 2006) and interictal spikes (Dyhrfjeld-Johnsen et al. J Clin Neurophysiol 27:418-24, 2010; White et al. Epilepsia 51:371-83, 2010). Currently DClamp can also be used for acquisition of in-vivo and in-vitro signals from as many as 64 separate channels or animals. Examples include chronic EEG data, ECoG data, extracellular field potentials, intracellular potentials, intracellular currents (using low cost acquisition cards). We plan to expand compatible hardware. Future expansions will include synchronization of signal recordings with surveillance videos. Project will be distributed as open source allowing users to modify the code.
