Action log types

Several action log types are provided to systematically record specific parameters or outcomes related to actions performed during experiments.

Table of contents

  1. Impedances log
  2. Linear displacement log
  3. Tetrode log (4 tetrodes)
  4. Tetrode log (8 tetrodes)

Impedances log

This log records the electrical impedance of electrodes implanted in the brain or other tissues over time.

FieldDescription
Impedances (kOhm)Measured impedance values in kiloohms (required)
Phases (degrees)Phase angles of the impedance measurements in degrees
List of channelsIdentifiers for the channels being measured

Linear displacement log

A linear displacement log tracks the movement or position of an object or device in a straight line.

FieldDescription
Displacement (μm)Measured displacement in micrometers (required)

Tetrode log (4 tetrodes)

This log keeps records related to the use and performance of a set of four tetrodes.

FieldDescription
Tetrode #1 (μm)Position or depth of the first tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #2 (μm)Position or depth of the second tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #3 (μm)Position or depth of the third tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #4 (μm)Position or depth of the fourth tetrode in micrometers

Tetrode log (8 tetrodes)

Similar to the log for four tetrodes, this log pertains to experiments involving a set of eight tetrodes.

FieldDescription
Tetrode #1 (μm)Position or depth of the first tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #2 (μm)Position or depth of the second tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #3 (μm)Position or depth of the third tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #4 (μm)Position or depth of the fourth tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #5 (μm)Position or depth of the fifth tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #6 (μm)Position or depth of the sixth tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #7 (μm)Position or depth of the seventh tetrode in micrometers
Tetrode #8 (μm)Position or depth of the eighth tetrode in micrometers
