manta-system

The distributed nature of nervous systems necessitates to record from a large number of sites in order to understand the neural code, whether single cell, LFP, μECOG, EEG or MEA recordings are considered. High density recordings also optimize the yield of a preparation and minimize the time-investment for the scientist. Currently, data acquisition (DAQ) systems with high channel counts (>100) can be purchased from a limited number of companies at considerable prices, especially for digital systems. These systems are typically closed source and thus prohibit custom extensions or improvements on a lab level. We have developed a MATLAB-based DAQ system MANTA (MAtlab N-Times Analog) which combines high channel counts (up to 1500 channels), usage of analog or digital headstages, low per channel cost (<$90), feature-rich display & filtering, and a user-friendly interface with the possibility to easily add features. MANTA is licensed under the GPL and free of charge. MANT
