What's new in Spike Recorder 1.9.0.1
Editor's review
Download the latest Spike Recorder application, version 1.9.0.1, compatible with Windows 10/11 (using emulators such as Bluestacks), Android devices. This free Education app is developed by Backyard Brains and is easy to download and install.
Previous versions, including 1.9.0.1, 1.8.4.0, are also available. If you need help or have any problems, please let us know.
Description
With the SpikerBox (available open-source from http://backyardbrains.com) you can now listen to living neurons from insects. With this android app, you can view what the spikes of neurons look like and record it to your phone for later analysis. What used to take up a whole room you now have in your hand, and for cheap. Think of it!
Our first Android release includes both long continuous and threshold views, and you can also tell us about the first time you heard a neuron that updates directly on our website. Join the Neuro-Converts! Do let us know us know about your experiments.
Note: The application normally picks up input through your Android's built-in microphone. If you want to plug directly into your SpikerBox, or any audio device, you need a custom male-to-male headphone cable (a normal one won't work), available from our website. It has to do with routing an output channel to an input channel. We also have instructions if you want to build one yourself.

Ratings and Reviews
Rating: 3.1/5 based on Less than 100 reviews

5 ★ Works great on my Xioami Note 7 Pro
5 ★ Bests for teaching
2 ★ Doesn't tell you how what all of the different functions mean and how to set different things. Resting potential for neurons is at about -60 mV, but starting threshold was at 0 and the amplitude scale is at .42 (in this photo, and doesn't show how to change that...)? Very vague, and a little frustrating.
5 ★ Good analytical for spikes
3 ★ The app is crashing in moto g4 plus. Please fix it.
