What do #Electrophysiologists who record raw data from many channels (#NeuroPixels, #Hyperdrives…) do for data backup and storage? I just bought 2 x 4Tb external drives and it looks like they won’t be enough (at all). Is there a cheap and reliable AND huge storage way to do this?

*** Hyperdrive Spreadsheet for #Electrophysiologists reminder ***
It’s a collaborative online spreadsheet that you can just check out or even contribute to!
Goals:
-> check how other scientists build & implant drives for tetrode & probe freely-moving electrophysiology-> try to link building / surgery parameters to specific problems
-> open to all: add a new row for each drive type that you’ve used!
Any questions: ask them as comments in the spreadsheet!

What’s a good book or online tutorial on the basics of #Electronics?
(Especially the kind that we use as #Electrophysiologists ) 🙏⚡️ -
Question for #Probe #Electrophysiologists, especially those who do acute recordings:
If you reuse your probes AND do electrolytic lesions to mark the sites, could you describe your lesion parameters (current, duration, positive, negative or bipolar current)?
(Asking for a friend)
Tagging @beneuroscience :)(Update: added acute recordings)

@elduvelle_neuro this is great! I’m curious what you and other #Electrophysiologists think of dexamethasone treatment as postop care? It seems a more prevalent practice among those working with #Neuropixels but not amongst the #ephys community-at-large #EphysTip #neuroscience

My dream goal on here is to attract enough #Electrophysiologists so that we can debate things like which drives to use, nichrome or platinum wire, what gold-plating impedance, Vaseline or kwik-sil for surgery, tetrodes in or out of brain, going backwards during screening or not, which is the best recording system, rats vs mice (rats, ofc), etc.
So please tell your #Ephys colleagues to join! (Or they can also join the #NeuroMethods slack but that’s less fun)

Are there any #Electrophysiologists out there who record raw data on many channels, and would share their secrets for not having to buy additional hard drives every month? One 20 min session = 20Gb 😅
Basically: what is your data management system? 🙏

I also miss a quote-boost option..
I find the engagement improved here especially with respect to follower number, at least for most topics.
Still, we need more #Electrophysiologists :) the Mastodon crowd seems to be slightly more tech-oriented.
