Testing setup of the closed-loop system. (A) The diagram of the testing setup. A signal generator was used to apply pulses with different amplitudes and duty cycles into the PBS solution. The analog data was sampled by the closed-loop electrophysiology system and transmitted to the computer for visualization using serial communication. All the recordings were performed in a properly grounded Faraday cage. (B) A picture of the working system. (C) Typical real-time recording data for one channel on the customized software built by MATLAB GUI App designer. A train of 10 Hz 10 ms duration pulses modulated by a 2 Hz sine wave was applied to the saline and the threshold was set to 200 μV. (D) The recorded signal on the software for a train of 20 Hz 5 ms duration pulses modulated by 2 Hz sine wave. The threshold remains the same.
