Torres, David J.; Romero, Andres; Colgan, Wes, III; Ricoy, Ulises M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Undergraduates use a spike sorting routine developed in Octave to analyze the spiking activity generated from mechanical stimulation of spines of cockroach legs with the inexpensive SpikerBox amplifier and the free software Audacity. Students learn the procedures involved in handling the cockroaches and recording extracellular action potentials…
