2.3.3 Segment Entities
Spike streams are represented in segment entities. Spikes (or wave forms) are sampled
independently for each channel. This means there is always only one source per segment entity.
The number of sources is always 1. Each original channel from MC_Rack data forms one entity
in Neuroshare. The different gain is considered. Data is given in Volt of the original input.
For triggered data all analog entities are also represented as segment entities. One segment
contains the data of one sweep for one channel.
2.3.4 Neural Event Entities
There are no streams in MC_Rack data that are mapped to neural event entities.
2.4 Nomenclature for Entities
Considering the Neuroshare convention for titles of entities, the entities are named as follow:
 8 letters: Stream name with:
- 4 letters name
- 4 digits stream number
 Space
 4 letters: HWID (Hardware ID)
 Space
 4 digits: Index of channel
 Space
 8 letters: Name of channel (aligned on the right side)
Event entities of digital data are named as following:
 Space
 2 digits sub channel for events of digital data
For example:
aaaa0000 0000 0000 xxxxxxxx 00
elec0001 0001 0000 21
digi0001 0063 0001 D1
digi0001 0063 0001 D1 02
