Introduction

Data acquisition encompasses the diverse range of data types acquired during scientific experiments. These data types are crucial for understanding the complex workings of the brain and nervous system, offering insights into neural function, structure, behavior, and the effects of various interventions. While Data acquisition types share relationships, fields are tailored to the various data types.
