404. That’s an error.

That’s all we know.

> A major characteristic of neural networks is the complexity of their
> organization at various spatial scales, from microscopic local circuits to
> macroscopic brain-scale areas. Understanding how neural information is
> processed thus entails the ability to study them at multiple scales
> simultaneously. This is made possible using microelectrodes array (MEA)
> technology. Indeed, high-density MEAs provide large-scale coverage (several
> square millimeters) of whole neural structures combined with microscopic
> resolution (about 50 μm) of unit activity. Yet, current options for
> spatiotemporal representation of MEA-collected data remain limited. Here we
> present NeuroMap, a new interactive Matlab-based software for spatiotemporal
> mapping of MEA data. NeuroMap uses thin plate spline interpolation, which
> provides several assets with respect to conventional mapping methods used
> currently. First, any MEA design can be considered, including 2D or 3D,
> regular or irregular, arrangements of electrodes. Second, spline
> interpolation allows the estimation of activity across the tissue with local
> extrema not necessarily at recording sites. Finally, this interpolation
> approach provides a straightforward analytical estimation of the spatial
> Laplacian for better current sources localization. In this software,
> coregistration of 2D MEA data on the anatomy of the neural tissue is made
> possible by fine matching of anatomical data with electrode positions using
> rigid-deformation-based correction of anatomical pictures. Overall, NeuroMap
> provides substantial material for detailed spatiotemporal analysis of MEA
> data.The package is distributed under GNU General Public License and
> available at http://sites. google.com/site/neuromapsoftware.
