It very difficult to describe all you can do in the program. Therefore, instead of enumerating various options and features, we will try provide the answers to the following questions: How can I get my data into NeuroExplorer? What kinds of data can I analyze? What statistical methods can I use in NeuroExplorer? Can I calculate multiple histograms, for example, all pairwise crosscorrelograms for a group of neurons? Can I calculate confidence limits and shift-predictors? Can I limit analysis to certain types of trials? Can I edit graphics inside Neuroexplorer, add my own labels and arrows to the graphs? Can I run routine analyses in batch mode? How can I use the analysis results?
		How Can I Get My Data into NeuroExplorer?
		If you are using one of the following data acquisition systems: AD Instruments PowerLab Alpha Omega Axon Instruments Bionic Technologies (any system producing .nev files) CED Spike 2 Cortex DataWave Discovery or Experimenter's Workbench Instrutech Multichannel Systems MCRack NeuraLynx Plexon RC Electronics EGAA and DataMAX then you don't need to worry about your data compatibility. NeuroExplorer can easily read native binary data files created by these data acquisition systems. For example, if you are a DataWave user, you might be interested to know that Nex can import directly .uff, .dat, .cut and *.act files generated by both the Discovery and the Experimenter's Workbench systems. Nex can read and analyze timestamps, waveforms, continuously recorded signals, position data as well as events and trial markers. If you are using a data file format which is not compatible with one of the systems mentioned above, you can always import data to NeuroExplorer from text files or Excel spreadsheets.
		What Kinds of Data Can I Analyze in Neuroexplorer?
		The primary function of NeuroExplorer is to analyze Spike Trains and other event data (in statistics, these types of data are called point processes). Continuous data can also be used in several analyses (for example, to estimate statistical dependencies between point processes and continuously recorded data). Currently NeuroExplorer does not provide many of the popular Waveform analysis options. For example, spike sorting is not included in the package since many data acquisition systems have their own spike sorting software. However, if you need a well-designed and user-friendly spike sorter, Plexon Inc offers a companion product OfflineSorter that can import data files generated by popular data acquisition systems, sort the waveforms using Principal Component Analysis and other techniques and save the spike trains in NeuroExplorer format.
