If you are using Linux, changes are that this page is not that useful for you, since most of these programs come installed by default. For you who are not yet into linux, most of these programs have Windows/Mac versions:
Ojoshi at instructables.com has posted a manual on how to build this arduino based hearing aid system. From his instructables page: it has tuning functionality that allows the wearer to tune the amplification to his or her needs.
IPipet is a neat system to help you not to lose track of which wells you have already pipetted in or from. The idea is simple, you place a tablet running a link with your specific pipetting protocol under your source and destination plates.
Since organisation of ideas, stocks, and projects is a major concern (or at least should be) of labs and researchers, here is a small compilation of cost free sofware to help out:
Micro-Manager is an ImageJ plugin dedicated to the control of microscopes. Their intent is to have a “one fits all” software for the control of microscopes, stages, filters and cameras. A comprehensive list of supported devives can be found on devices section of the project webpage.
NeuroMorpho.Org is a centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons associated with peer-reviewed publications. It contains contributions from over 100 laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared.
NeuroTinker project is all about hardware emulated neurons. The creators made them in a way that each hardware neuron has excitatory and inhibitory inputs and one output that can be split up to affect dowsntream neurons.
NiBabel is a python package, under the NiPy project, that aims at unifying the process of opening different medical and neuroimaging file formats, including: ANALYZE,GIFTI, NIfTI1, MINC, MGH and ECAT as well as PAR/REC.
NiPy is an effort to make brain imaging research easier and more clear. This is implemented by providing a series of software that deal with file IO, analysis, and interfaces & pipelines.
This is a small set of instructions on how to build a nose poke device for rats, using an arduino, some 3D printed parts and some off-the-shelf electronic components. All the files necessary to reproduce this can be found here
