About the speaker:
Professor Vaughan Macefield, PhD, DSc
Senior Principal Research Fellow at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute
'Professor Macefield specializes in recording from single nerve fibres via microelectrodes inserted into the peripheral nerves of awake human subjects (microneurography), and is best known for developing the methodology for recording the firing properties of single, type-identified, sympathetic neurones supplying muscle and skin and, most recently, for developing the methodology for recording muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) at the same time as performing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain.'
LabChart - All you microneurography analysis in one place
The Spike Histogram and Peak Analysis Modules for LabChart are essential add-on's to have for analyzing your microneurography data. Whether you are investigating data from single-unit recordings of muscle spindle afferents, or multi-unit recordings of MSNA, LabChart has the tools to support your studies. Find out more »
