Quick Start
-
When you start PhysioFriend, you will see a
blank screen. The simulation will be running and you will be monitoring
a Photoreceptor.
- You won't hear anything because the photoreceptor is
not a spiking cell,
but you can observe the response of the photoreceptor on the activity bar on
the right.
- Get help on the keyboard
shortcuts, or
find the shortcut keys in the menus.
- To select the cell you want to observe, use the Cell menu.
- If the cell is a spiking cell, you will hear its
spikes and you can see the
spike rate on the activity meter. If the cell is a graded cell you will
only see the response on the activity meter.
- To select the stimulus you want to use, use the Stimulus menu.
- To view the photoreceptor locations, select View.../Photoreceptors
- Explore the menus and try the popup menu on the
tangent screen by right
clicking.
