About WFOM¶
Wide-Field Optical Mapping (WFOM) is the product of the Columbia University’s Laboratory for Functional Optical Imaging, run by Elizabeth Hillman
Technique¶
WFOM works by utilizing a high-speed CCD camera’s exposure signal to trigger arrays of high-powered LEDs, set to specified wavelengths.
A paper describing the technique further can be found here.
Applications¶
WFOM is currently being used in a wide (•͡˘㇁•͡˘) range of applications, such as:
Why PyWFOM?¶
PyWFOM
combines code previously spread across numerous platforms, devices,
and languages into a single, user-friendly Python Package.
Users are able to set camera parameters, stim functions, and data acquisition all in one place.
