This Harp device can be connected to any of the Input/Output HDMI ports on the Open Ephys Acquistion Board 2nd Generation and to the timestamp input of another Harp device so the ephys clock is shared with the Harp device. The Open Ephys Acquistion Board 3rd Generation integrates this functionality without the need for an external Harp Timestamp Generator (for Acquisition Board).

This removes the need to time align ephys and behavioral timestamps post-hoc, since all input and output events in the behavioral setup are timestamped on the same ephys clock as the neural and auxiliary signals acquired by the Open Ephys Acquisition Board.

• 1x timestamp output for Harp synchronization (Clk Out) [3.5mm stereo jack]

• Exposes 3x channels of the Input/Output HDMI on Open Ephys Acquisition Board so they can be accessed when the Harp Timestamp Generator (for Acquisition Board) is connected.

This Harp device needs to be connected to an Open Ephys Acquisition Board 2nd Generation and to another Harp device to achieve its intended function. To connect multiple Harp devices to the Open Ephys Acquisition Board 2nd Generation, connect the Harp Timestamp Generator (for Acquisition Board) to a Harp Timestamp Generator so that all devices share the same acquisition clock.

The R2 Rat Cap is a fast and flexible solution for protecting silicon probe implants on rats.

It consists of a plastic headplate that is cemented to the skull, leaving the entire top exposed to place one or multiple implants. Two side walls hinge to close around the implant after probe insertion, and an optional lid that can be used to close it off. The inside of the cap can be lined with the included conductive tape for electrical isolation. Header pins are included to flexibly position probe connectors inside the cap.

The cap is assembled by the user in advance to cut down on surgery time. Follow implant protocol directions in the documentation.

Package includes:

• 1x plastic headplate, side walls, and lid, tapped and with screws

• 2x 30 mm header pins

• 8x 12mm header pins

• 1x strip of conductive copper tape

• 1x 0.05 in Hex key for the cap screws

SKU: OEPS-8010

pyPhotometry is an open source system for fiber photometry data acquisition.

This first version includes:

• 2x Analog inputs for photometry signals. The system supports time-division multiplexed illumination which allows fluorescence evoked by different excitation wavelengths to be independently read out from a single photoreceiver signal.

• 2x Digital inputs for registering behavioral events or sync pulses

• 2x LED driver outputs, each with a 1-100mA adjustable output current. The LED driver outputs are M8 connectors compatible with Doric and Thorlabs LEDs.

For more information, see the documentation at https://pyphotometry.readthedocs.io/

Package includes:

• 1x pyPhotometry

This device requires additional components to operate. Please check the device connectivity list to purchase any cables, tethers and power supplies you might need. Please follow the documentation to pair the acquisition board with LEDs, photoreceivers, and optical components.

SKU: OEPS-8011

pyPhotometry is an open source system for fiber photometry data acquisition.

Version 2 includes:

• 2x Analog inputs for photometry signals. The system supports time-division multiplexed illumination, which allows fluorescence evoked by different excitation wavelengths to be independently read out from a single photoreceiver signal.

• 2x Digital inputs for registering behavioral events or sync pulses

• 2x LED driver outputs, with adjustable output current up to 300mA. The LED driver outputs are M8 connectors compatible with Doric and Thorlabs LEDs.

Additional improvements from first version:

• 2x LED control digital output channels for triggering external optical hardware such as the Doric Gen3 minicubes, which have integrated LED drivers.

Note the signals output on the two LED control outputs are the same signals used to control the on-board LED drivers, so it is not possible to independently use the LED control outputs and the LED driver outputs at the same time.

• Updated LED driver’s maximum output current from 100 mA to 300 mA.

• Reduced artifacts on analog input signals caused by saturation (i.e., voltage exceeding 3.3V) on the other analog input.

• Additional Picoblade connector providing access to 3x pyBoard pins, including I2C serial communication for further expansion.

For more information see the documentation at https://pyphotometry.readthedocs.io/

Package includes:

• 1x pyPhotometry V2

This device requires additional components to operate. Please check the device connectivity list to purchase any cables, tethers and power supplies you might need.  Please follow the documentation to pair the acquisition board with LEDs, photoreceivers, and optical components.
