Baseline
Click the icon "Baseline". As with all experimental phases, there is the possibility to enable
or disable this phase by checking the "Enable" box.
During the "Baseline" phase of the running experiment, the user defined stimulation paradigm
is applied for a chosen period of time. This phase is often used as reference for the following
phases with LTP / LTD Induction and / or drug application.
The duration of the baseline recording is selected from the "Recording Time" drop down menu.
When the experiment is running, in the combo box "Remaining" the time for that phase
is counted down. With "Sound Alarm" an acoustic alarm can be set off shortly before the
end of the phase.
.
To extent this phase, click the "Extend Recording Time" marker. Now it is possible to increase
the duration of that phase while experiment is running.
When pressing the "Next Phase" button, the program jumps to the next experimental phase,
regardless of the remaining time of the current phase. After the phase duration is over,
the next phase will start.
For any changes to take effect, they have to be confirmed with the command "Apply".
