Spike Recorder brings hands-on neuroscience recording and analysis to students, educators and researchers. Use compatible Backyard Brains hardware to explore electrical signals from nerves and muscles.
Record signals from multiple channels, save recordings, and open them for playback and analysis. Use the Signal, Spike, Events and Spectrum workspaces to examine your data. Measure spike counts and rates for each selected spike train, or compare average power in frequency bands such as alpha.
Create named events with colors and keyboard shortcuts. Mark events with on-screen buttons while recording, and keep their names visible on the signal. Adjust channel types, names, colors and filters to suit your experiment.
Browse saved recordings with waveform previews, then open, rename or share a recording. New NWB recordings preserve supported channel settings, spike selections, event details and each screen’s scales. Hardware compatibility and connection options vary by device.

Hi! To whom this may concern, my professor and I were hoping to do an experiment as outlined on the Backyard Brains Experiments website, which uses grasshoppers and this app to create a fixation cross/dot etc. etc. you can find the outline via their website. However, the “experiments” tab as shown the website is not present in the app. We were hoping to find out why this “experiments” function is missing, and whether it might be implemented/added back in so that we may perform this experiment! Thanks,-Joon
A handy dandy recording device that works

The app is easy to use and a great addition to making an iphone a useful recording device and instrument for lab experiments.
Cool Idea, Awful App

The app is really just not great. It has frequent glitches, and often fails to hold data points.
Awesome

This interface is incredible and we are using the Backyard Brains Spikerboxes in a kinesiology lab for visual feedback on neural stimulation. So very cool!
Selected controls are easier to see in dark mode, with a bright face and dark icons and text across buttons, tabs, menus and switches.
This update also includes the recent spike-capture fixes: completed spikes remain visible while you zoom, pause, change tabs or switch trigger channels. Average mode keeps the completed result while collecting the next one.
Live signal acquisition requires compatible Backyard Brains hardware.
