Basic knowledge in electronics is necessary prerequisite for every neuroscientist. You will need it to build your own amplifier to record a sniffing pattern of a mouse; it will allow you to fully understand how is your electrophysiological setup working and to appreciate what is really happening inside of a cell during an action potential.
This workshop is intended to provide you with theoretical and practical knowlege about electronics:
- Theoretical introduction – current, voltage, resistance, Ohm’s Law, Kirchoff’s laws
- Basic tools in electronics – multimeters, oscilloscopes
- Resistors, diodes, capacitors
- DC and AC
- Filters, amplifiers
- Analog sensors, motors, servos
- Transistors, switches, logic gates, integrated circuits
Participants will receive kits with all the necessary elements; the workshop will be focused on practical exercises.
The cost of the workshop is 70 PLN. You can find the application form HERE.
Workshop will be organized between 9AM – 4 PM.
