ADInstruments SpikeHistogram 2.6

ADInstruments SpikeHistogram is an add-on for LabChart designed to simplify the analysis of neural spike trains. Tailored for neurophysiology research and teaching, it helps you quantify firing patterns by creating peri-stimulus time histograms (PSTHs), interspike interval (ISI) histograms, and related rate metrics from extracellular recordings.

Key capabilities:

• Generate PSTHs aligned to stimulus events or markers across repeated trials
• Build ISI histograms to assess firing regularity and variability
• Adjust bin widths, time windows, normalization, and smoothing to match your protocol
• Overlay and average histograms from multiple sweeps or conditions
• Analyze data from single or multiple channels recorded in LabChart
• Export figures and numerical results for reporting or further statistics

SpikeHistogram integrates seamlessly with LabChart and PowerLab-based workflows, making it straightforward to detect spikes, align them to events, and visualize changes in firing rate and latency under different stimulus conditions. It’s well suited for sensory physiology, evoked response studies, and general spike-train characterization.
