[visionlist] iPad App for Visual Neurophysiology

[Nicolas Cottaris]

Dear colleagues, 

I have recently developed an iPad app for preliminary assessments of the location and tuning properties of receptive fields, which I am using in my lab. The app is called RFspotter, and it may be of interest to other visual neurophysiology labs, so I made it a Free download at the iTunes AppStore.

RFspotter produces a range of classic visual stimuli that are effective at driving neurons from the retina up to V4 and MT. Stimuli, which are controlled in real-time along several dimensions via multi-touch gestures on the iPad, can be mirrored to an external display, via a 30pin-to-VGA or HDMI adapter.

The ideal use of RFspotter is for localizing RFs which may be scattered across an area larger than that covered by your experimental display. Instead of moving your display around, connect your iPad-2 to a projector and use RFspotter to explore a region as large as that covered by the projector's beam. Once a unit of interest has been spotted, move your experimental display to the optimal location and conduct your experiments.


For more information and to download this app please visit : http://web.me.com/np_cottaris/Software/RFspotter_v1.01.html

I would appreciate any comments and suggestions you may have. Also, please do not forget to rate the App and leave your comments at the AppStore, so that others can see how you may use RFspotter in your research.

P.S. If any of you have previously downloaded RFspotter, an updated version (1.01) is now available online.


Best regards,
Nicolas
