danse™
-
danse™ is a neuroscience data analysis software that provides a simple and intuitive way to examine changes in neural activity around behavior events. In particular, users can batch process all the recordings related to a single experiment, taking into account experimental design (groups, treatments, trials, etc.), with NO coding required. Users can easily export plots and processed/analyzed data from danse™ to run statistical tests or further manipulate the data.
COMPATIBILITY:
danse™ is designed to analyze data acquired from Doric fiber photometry console, bundle-imaging fiber photometry, miniature fluorescence microscopy, optogenetics TTL pulse generator, and behavior camera. In addition, danse™ can integrate behavior videos, events (e.g. stimuli, immobility bouts), and measures (e.g. animal position, speed) from external sources (Excel, CSV, Anymaze, Ethovision, DeepLabCut, etc.). It is also possible to convert neural data files recorded from other devices, including TDT, Neurophotometrics, Inscopix, and more.
For more details, including a description of available processing and analysis features, download the following danse pdf. We also provide a growing bank of tutorial videos to support new users.Contact sales@doriclenses.com to request a Demo call and a quote, or select the button below to obtain an activation key for a free trial of the software.
