BCI2000 is a general-purpose system for brain-computer interface (BCI) and adaptive neurotechnology research. It can also be used for data acquisition, stimulus presentation, and brain monitoring applications. The mission of the BCI2000 project is to facilitate research and applications in the areas described. Their vision is that BCI2000 will become a widely used software tool for diverse areas of real-time biosignal processing. In order to achieve this vision, BCI2000 system is available for free for non-profit research and educational purposes. BCI2000 supports a variety of data acquisition systems, brain signals, and study/feedback paradigms. During operation, BCI2000 stores data in a common format (BCI2000 native or GDF), along with all relevant event markers and information about system configuration. BCI2000 also includes several tools for data import/conversion (e.g., a routine to load BCI2000 data files directly into Matlab) and export facilities into ASCII. BCI2000 also facilitates interactions with other software. For example, Matlab scripts can be executed in real-time from within BCI2000, or BCI2000 filters can be compiled to execute as stand-alone programs. Furthermore, a simple network-based interface allows for interactions with external programs written in any programming language. For example, a robotic arm application that is external to BCI2000 may be controlled in real time based on brain signals processed by BCI2000, or BCI2000 may use and store along with brain signals behavioral-based inputs such as eye-tracker coordinates. Because it is based on a framework whose services can support any BCI implementation, the use of BCI2000 provides maximum benefit to comprehensive research programs that operate multiple BCI2000 installations to collect data for a variety of studies. The most important benefits of the system in such situations are: - A Proven Solution - Facilitates Operation of Research Programs - Facilitates Deployment in Multiple Sites - Cross-Platform and Cross-Compiler Compatibility - Open Resource Sponsors: BCI2000 development is sponsored by NIH/NIBIB R01 and NIH/NINDS U24 grants.

The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey of about 50,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics for more than 50 years. It provides a comprehensive body of data on the labor force, employment, unemployment, and persons not in the labor force. The CPS is the primary source of information on the labor force characteristics of the U.S. population. The sample is scientifically selected to represent the civilian noninstitutional population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 15 years of age and older. However, published data focus on those ages 16 and over. The sample provides estimates for the nation as a whole and serves as part of model-based estimates for individual states and other geographic areas. Estimates obtained from the CPS include employment, unemployment, earnings, hours of work, and other indicators. They are available by a variety of demographic characteristics including age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. They are also available by occupation, industry, and class of worker. Supplemental questions to produce estimates on a variety of topics including school enrollment, income, previous work experience, health, employee benefits, and work schedules are also often added to the regular CPS questionnaire. CPS data are used by government policymakers and legislators as important indicators of our nations economic situation and for planning and evaluating many government programs. They are also used by the press, students, academics, and the general public.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. CATs Card Sort is a free, general purpose card sorting program which allows the user to design sorting tasks similar to those described by Vigotsky (1934), Weigel (1941), and Grant and Berg (1948). Card sorting tasks have been shown to be particularly sensitive to frontal lobe dysfunction, but have also shown sensitivity to motor disorders, schizophrenia, chronic alcoholism, aging, and attention deficit disorder. The CATs Card Sort package provides extensive flexibility in the development of stimulus cards, allowing the experimenter to define the relevant dimensions of cards in terms of figures, letters or words, figure/letter/word color, card color, figure/letter numerosity, and a user defined dimension. Considerable flexibility is also provided in designing lists of to be sorted cards, sort criteria, and the criteria for sort classification shift. The package also provides limited analysis capabilities as described by Grant and Berg (1948). However, as with all CATs packages raw data can be copied to the clipboard in a format acceptable for import into commonly available spreadsheets such as Excel allowing the user to design analysis routines appropriate to their needs.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on September 09, 2013. Supply aged mutant and transgenic mice for NIH-supported research directly related to the biology of aging. The mice are raised by the NIA's contractor, Taconic Farms, in Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) barrier facilities. The strains in the mutant mouse aging colony have been donated by the investigators who developed the models, and those investigators are still the legally recognized owners of the intellectual property. A Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) is required to purchase the mice (a one-time requirement per strain). There are restrictions to the use of this colony as described in the MTA. These restrictions include a prohibition against breeding the mice purchased from the NIA Mutant Mouse Aging Colony, agreement that the mice will not be used for commercial purposes, and agreement that the mice and all derivatives will not be transferred to third parties. The restrictions are further spelled out in the MTA. Animals are sold by age, not weight, and ages are stated in 1 month intervals only; all animals born within a calendar month are considered to be the same age, so date of birth (DOB) is given as month/year. All mice are virgins. The mutant mouse aging colony is slated to end in September 2013. Old mice will be available until September 2013 but the availability of young mice will end earlier. Entries of different strains into the mutant mouse aging colony will end at different times, dependent on the lifespan and pattern of use of the strain. Mouse models include: * Snell Dwarf (3623) ??????????????? last entry will be the November 2011 DOB (date of birth) * Ames Dwarf (324) ??????????????? last entry will be the October 2012 DOB * A53T ???????????????????????-synuclein Transgenic (322) ??????????????? last entry will be the December 2012 DOB * GFP Transgenic (317) ??????????????? last entry will be the January 2013 DOB
