  Rabies Necropsy Techniques in Large and Small Animals Jodie A. Jarvis¹, Kathleen T. Brown¹, Kim A. Appler¹, D Patrick Fitzgerald¹, April D. Davis^{1 1}Rabies Laboratory, Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health The goal of this protocol is to demonstrate safe necropsy techniques in small and large animals to obtain satisfactory tissue samples for rabies testing.

  Isolating And Immunostaining Lymphocytes and Dendritic Cells from Murine Peyer's Patches Magdia De Jesus¹, Sarita Ahlawat¹, Nicholas J. Mantis^{1 1}Division of Infectious Diseases, New York State Department of Health There is an increasing interest in understanding the immunological functions of specific subpopulations of cells in Peyer's patches (PPs), the primary inductive sites of gut-associated lymphoid tissues. Here we outline parallel protocols for preparing PP single cell preparations for flow cytometric analysis and PP cryosections for immunostaining.

  Recording Human Electrocorticographic (ECoG) Signals for Neuroscientific Research and Real-time Functional Cortical Mapping N. Jeremy Hill¹, Disha Gupta^1,2, Peter Brunner^1,2, Aysegul Gunduz^1,2, Matthew A. Adamo³, Anthony Ritaccio², Gerwin Schalk^{1,2,4,5,6,7 1}Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health, ²Department of Neurology, Albany Medical College, ³Department of Neurosurgery, Albany Medical College, ⁴Department of Neurosurgery, Washington University, ⁵Department of Biomed. Eng., Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, ⁶Department of Biomed. Sci., State University of New York at Albany, ⁷Department of Elec. and Comp. Eng., University of Texas at El Paso We present a method for collecting electrocorticographic signals for research purposes from humans who are undergoing invasive epilepsy monitoring. We show how to use the BCI2000 software platform for data collection, signal processing and stimulus presentation. Specifically, we demonstrate SIGFRIED, a BCI2000-based tool for real-time functional brain mapping.

  Using an EEG-Based Brain-Computer Interface for Virtual Cursor Movement with BCI2000 J. Adam Wilson¹, Gerwin Schalk², Léo M. Walton¹, Justin C. Williams^{1 1}Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, ²Wadsworth Center, New York State Dept. of Health In this video, we demonstrate the steps required to run a brain-computer interface experiment, including setting up the EEG cap, calibrating the system, and training the user to move a cursor in two dimensions using imagined movements.
