Connecting

  1. Ensure your SciFi headstage is powered on by holding the right button down for 3 seconds, and the screen is displaying correctly.
  2. Connect the Axon Omnetics Adapter with the SciFi headstage using a USB-C cable. The peripheral tab on the SciFi home screen will change to indicate a peripheral is connecting.
  3. Once connected, the peripheral tab will indicate the number of recognized devices.

Configuring

The Axon Cereport Adapter uses the Science Nixel 512 neural recording chip as its functional core. Please refer to the Synapse peripheral documentation for all available configuration options, including sample rate, bit depth, and filter cutoff frequencies. The channel configuration information is described in a Synapse JSON file (GitHub), which can be used with both Nexus software and the Synapse CLI.

Recording

Detailed information regarding recording sessions can be found in the usage section of the SciFi, Nexus, or Synapse-CTL documentation.
