Abstract
We have developed a graphic distributed software package which allows neurophysiologists to have at hand a set of network and graphical tools in order to perform the analysis of data collected from the electrical activity of neurons, studied in the experimental laboratory. This system is built around three major components. The first one processes the experimental data, in order to select desired data files from the networked computer and also displays these in a raster display. The second part selects one type of analysis (like cross-correlation) out of a set of possible choices, after configuration of some specific parameters. Finally, the third component deals with the results of data analyses, which are selected and displayed in a multi parameter graphical ‘ring binder’.
