Hi!
I work for a neurophysiology lab, and we are looking for more
convenient ways to store our data. Currently we read electrical
impulses from neurons, put the signal through a DC amplifier,
and save the data on a 4 channel DC tape recorder.
This works ok, but I have heard tell that there are setups where
you can use your VCR as a tape recorder (and a good one, at that).
Can anyone give me any information on any systems like that? Can
one store DC signals on a VCR (which I assume are AC)? I have also
heard of people using their digital VCRs as a sort of DAT-like system.
Would it be feasible to use a system like that to convert our data
from analog to digital, and later dumped to a computer for analysis?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please reply by email, as I don't normally read rec.video or
sci.misc (though I am an avid fan of rec.audio).
