PROJECT SUMMARY Computer technology is now an integral part of research. Every lab uses computers to acquire and analyze data as well as store data, as mandated by journals and the NIH. Additionally, many UCSF vision labs use computers experimentally to present visual stimuli and to record neuronal responses from the retina or brain. Beyond the routine tasks, experimental computing involves specialized equipment with dedicated software, organizational IT infrastructure, experimental rigs, and analysis workstations with specific requirements. A computer specialist is available to realize desirable outcomes ranging from troubleshooting experimental data acquisition equipment, to coding customized multimodal analysis pipelines.
