Optogenetics is an extremely challenging technique, with many aspects that can go wrong. To that end, I have developed several optogenetics experimental tools to help plan and execute your optogenetic studies. And of course they are free to use.
Cannula angle calculator
Sometimes you need to implant your optic fibre cannulae at an angle, but it can be tricky to get the new coordinates correct. My cannula angle calculator does the calculations for you – just input your starting coordinates and the angle you want to tilt by.
Optogenetics depth calculator
My optogenetics depth calculator aims to provide a clear answer to the question: given my experimental parameters, what is the effective stimulation depth?
The primary purpose behind this calculator is to help plan an optogenetics study, especially fibre placement.
Optogenetics power calculator
My optogenetics power calculator aims to provide a clear answer to the question: given my experimental parameters, what power do I need for effective stimulation?
The primary purpose behind this calculator is to inform you of your basic experimental needs when planning an optogenetics study.
