Open Ephys Plugin Development Workshop

This half-day virtual workshop will provide an introduction to building plugins for the Open Ephys GUI, a widely used open-source application for multichannel electrophysiology. All data processing within the GUI occurs inside plugins, which can be mixed and matched to build signal chains on the fly. In the most recent major update to the GUI, the API for developing custom plugins has been simplified, meaning it’s now easier to add new functionality to the software. Plugins can provide novel visualizations of incoming data, acquire signals from external hardware, read/write different data formats, or trigger closed-loop feedback, among many other possibilities.

Prerequisites: Familiarity with the Open Ephys GUI and/or in vivo electrophysiology. Prior programming experience is strongly recommended, but familiarity with C++ is not required.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Apply by December 21 for full consideration. Applications will close on January 6.
