@fastworkers6 Or what we do at @OpenEphys when we get bored at conferences 🦕🧠

1. The Acquisition Board is the backbone of Open Ephys, but there’s a problem!
The board's data acquisition is powered by an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) module that is no longer being produced😱

Do you want to see our fancy new kit, bask in the RGB glow of our classic acquisition system / DJ booth, and play T-Rex Runner with your forearm EMG? Then stop by and say 👋 to @OpenEphys & @oepsTeam at #FENS2022 booth 110!

@HorstObenhaus @OpenEphys It's all publicly available, including the lectures! Everything is here: https://t.co/o9sK4ITf3r

[Jacque Ip @JQIpLab]

Ted and Matthew just received the #NeuroKit for Extracellular #Electrophysiology Acquisition training course next week ! Exciting !!

@guido_meijer I cannot believe that I drove you to the hospital, made you a coffee, brought you a delicious cardamom bun, took this bloody photo, and everyone is complaining about the banana

Sexual harassment is rampant in academia.

Whereas those who are harassed may leave academia entirely, harassers tend to stick around & further condense a toxic culture.

This #IWD, consider supporting us at @DragonflyMH as we put together a new program tackling harassment🤍

[Dragonfly Mental Health @DragonflyMH]

58% the rate of sexual harassment in academia, the 2nd highest rate of any professional industry.

Help us fund the creation & dissemination of our new program aimed at changing the culture that creates these conditions.

Have a question about your setup, OE board, or ephys in general?

Drop by our very first Office Hours session for a chat!
The OE team will be online next week to discuss all things (Open) Ephys.

The less you run on your world on dinosaurs, less you need to be beholden to dinosaurs who weaponise supply of dinosaurs to the rest of the world.

Good documentation is an essential part of making open-source projects accessible & useful.

To make our documentation easier to find and use, we now have dedicated docs sites for each of our tools!

Wat de Mol had moeten zeggen:
Ik schaam me kapot dat er binnen mijn bedrijf mannen zijn geweest die schandelijk misbruik hebben gemaakt van hun machtspositie. En dat er zo’n angstcultuur heerst dat men niet aan de bel durfde te trekken. Daar ben ik verantwoordelijk voor. #boos

[Isabella Sun @isabella0425sun]

Learnt a lot!! So happy to meet so many enthusiastic scientists and engineers with brilliant ideas from all over the world! Thank you very much for organising this!@Cajal_Training @oepsTeam @OpenEphys @ah_leighton @jvoigts

[Alexandra Leighton @ah_leighton]

@JMontijn @guido_meijer oh I thought it was CMOS-probe on fried po-ta-to but agree not his best work

[Alexandra Leighton @ah_leighton]

@ChrizKlink @guido_meijer thank you chris

[Dan Carden @DanCardenMP]

Liverpool, never change.

[The CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme @Cajal_Training]

The kits are arriving for the upcoming Cajal #NeuroKit #OnlineTraining course on Extracellular #Electrophysiology Acquisition! 🤩

It's 2021 and men are still discrediting processes that affect women and brushing them off as "fun" studies.

[Alexandra Leighton @ah_leighton]

@Cajal_Training @NeuroMelbourne @jvoigts @FENSorg @oepsTeam @OpenEphys @ibroSecretariat @SfNtweets @ChampalimaudF @GatsbyEd Exactly, last time we had 1 online teaching group from 9 am-1pm GMT for those who couldn't make the 2-6 GMT sessions. We'd do that again if there's enough interest!

[Alexandra Leighton @ah_leighton]

@Simonmcmul Wow thank you, so glad you like it!

[Jonathan Newman @__jonnew]

@ah_leighton put a lot of effort into creating this valuable resource for anyone who wants to understand how extracellular ephys _actually_ works. Highly recommended!
