Easy Upgrade Path from OpenEx

For current OpenEx users, the upgrade path is fast and painless. Most of the components of your current OpenEx experiment are available with Synapse gizmos. Any parts of the experiment that don’t match built-in tasks can easily be ported into Synapse User Designed gizmos.

Synapse fully supports custom applications written in MATLAB®, Python™, or any language that supports ActiveX; and integration with existing OpenEx applications such as OpenScope, OpenSorter, and OpenExplorer.
