RTXI

RTXI provides hard real-time data acquisition and closed-loop experimental control for dynamic perturbations and analysis in biological experiments.

Key Features:

• Real-Time Control: Performs hard real-time computational adjustments to experimental conditions for closed-loop interventions.
• Modular Standard Modules: Includes standard modular components that facilitate implementation of common electrophysiology protocols.
• Hardware Integration: Integrates with an extensive range of external experimentation and data-acquisition hardware.
• Open-Source Linux Platform: Operates as an open-source system within a Linux real-time environment.
• Open-Loop Support and Online Processing: Supports open-loop studies with online data acquisition, processing, and visualization.

Scientific Applications:

• Single-Cell Studies: Enables precise control and dynamic stimulation of single cells to investigate cellular responses.
• Cell Network Analysis: Facilitates real-time perturbation and monitoring of interactions within cell networks.
• Electrophysiology (Animals and Humans): Supports electrophysiological experiments in animals and humans in both closed-loop and open-loop configurations.
• Open-Loop Data Acquisition: Enables online acquisition, processing, and visualization for experiments that do not require closed-loop control.

Methodology:

Runs on a Linux real-time environment, integrates with external data-acquisition hardware, and uses modular real-time components to implement electrophysiology protocols.
