## Description

What is the SpikerBox? The SpikerBox is an accessible, entry-level brain recording kit that provides the ability for students of all ages to learn about neurons. For the first time ever, students and amateur scientists will have access to the types of tools used by research neuroscientists worldwide to study electrophysiology-the electrical activity of neurons. With quick and simple experiments, anyone and everyone can experience how the brain is able to communicate our senses, memories, hopes, and desires! How does the SpikerBox work? Cells of the nervous system (even ours!), called neurons, are specialized to carry "messages" through electrical pulses traveling down long extensions called axons. By using metal pins, called electrodes, it is possible to "eavesdrop" on this conversation. The SpikerBox allows you to record from invertebrate animals (like cockroaches, crickets, crawdads) by using a simple bio-amplifier and filter. The input of our kit connects to two neural probes-the metal needles-which are placed into a living insect. The output is neural activity, what we call "spikes", can be heard via a built-on speaker, or seen on your computer, iPhone, Android, iPad, or iPod Touch (apps are *, but a smartphone cable is used for best results). Coverage Our kits have been written up in the New York Times, Education Week, Wired, Scientific American, and more! You can watch the SpikerBox in action at our recent TED talk: http://on.ted.com/Gage. We also have published on the SpikerBox in PLoS One: http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0030837 Everything you need to get started is included in the kit: An electrode, specimen pad, and speaker. We even include the 9-volt battery! All you need to get started is an insect, time, and a curious mind.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this spikerbox to see the electrical waves on dionea muscipula? Converting the end of the Slim cable with a earh electrohode and a electrpho**
A: Unfortunately you can't, but you can use our Plant SpikerBox for that! The difference is the frequency range of the Neuron SpikerBox is too high for the dionea muscipula.

**Q: Why don’t you sell your products on Amazon India?**
A: We are currently selling only on Amazon.com and on our website backyardbrains.com 
If there is anything you need, please contact us at hello@backyardbrains.com

**Q: Is this really just volt meter ?**
A: The Neuron Spikerbox is designed to detect/pickup neuron spikes between the cells. PCB setup between Neuron Spikerbox & regular voltmeter is completely different.

**Q: Is this the one in the ted were you can control someone's arm?**
A: Hello! 
No, it is not. This product is called Neuron SpikerBox. The Neuron SpikerBox is a bioamplifier that allows you to hear and see real-time electrical "spikes", or action potentials, of live, signalling neurons in invertebrates.
You can see co-founder Greg Gage on the TED stage demonstrating use of the Neuron SpikerBox for recording signals from a cockroach: https://youtu.be/tr4gWi9Jf6k
