Figure Legend Snippet: Roadmap: an overview of the information flow within PLDAPS . In addition to the subject (which presumably has a brain), there are five components: a Plexon MAP device, the Datapixx USB peripheral, a Mac computer running Psychtoolbox, a reward dispensing system, and an input device (such as a keyboard, joystick, or eye tracker). (1) The Mac, running an experimental program in Psychtoolbox, sends digital video information to the video buffer on the Datapixx peripheral. (2) The Datapixx box splits the video information to two displays, made slightly different by two different color look-up tables (CLUT). One screen is for the subject, while the other has additional window and input markings (such as eye position) for the experimenter to monitor the subject’s activity in real-time. (3) The subject, responding to the screen, generates neural signals that are recorded by the Plexon MAP. (4) The subject also manipulates the input device. (5) Redundant analog signals are sent both to the Plexon device and the Datapixx box. (6) The Datapixx box sends the subject’s input back to the Mac, where the experimental program updates events in the trial (such as fixating on a target). (7) Timestamp markers of events in the trial are sent via TTL pulses to the Plexon MAP via an 8-bit digital cable from the Datapixx. At the end of the trial, more complex trial information is transmitted via 8-bit strobed words. (8) An analog or digital pulse is sent to the system that dispenses a reward. (9) An option is to send TTL pulses of neural spikes to the Datapixx box. This is used to closed-loop experiments where experimental parameters for the next trial are determined from neural activity in the previous trials.
