Sistemas operacionais de tempo real
Abstract in Portuguese
Este trabalho descreve o projeto e a implementação de instrumentação eletrônica dedicada para neurobiofísica, com foco para pesquisas em codificação neural com invertebrados. Foram desenvolvidos sistemas de tempo real, controlados por computador, para a aquisição de tempos de disparo de spikes neurais oriundos de neurônios do cérebro de moscas, e para a geração de sinais de controle de estímulos visuais gerados a uma taxa de varredura vertical de 500Hz, usado para estimulações visuais em invertebrados. Estes sistemas possuem hardware dedicado, incluindo front end analógico, hardware digital baseado em FPGAs, hospedado em microcomputador IBM/PC compatível, que prove a interface do sistema com o usuário. Dois protótipos foram construídos, sendo o primeiro com ênfase em hardware dedicado, e o segundo com ênfase em sistema operacional de tempo real para controle do hospedeiro. Ambos sistemas estão sendo utilizados no laboratório Dipteralab do IFSC, para o estudo da transmissão da informação no duto óptico da mosca

Abstract in English
This work describes the project and implementation of custom build electronic instrumentation to be used in neurobiophysical research, more precisely in neural coding experiments with invertebrates. A hard real time computer controlled integrated system was developed capable to acquire the timestamps of evoked neural spikes of a fly submitted to visual stimuli. The visual stimuli generator is a custom build system connected to the hard real time computer capable to generate images at a frame rate of 500Hz. Dedicated hardware was developed, including an analog front end and FPGA based digital circuits. The IBM/PC compatible computer hosted hardware provides the system interface with the end user. Two prototypes were build, one based on dedicated hardware and the other based on real time routines executed on the host computer. Both systems are in use at the Dipteralab of our institute to study the information transmission of the optic flow signal in fly.
