TEACHING

MEMCABLE  In 1993, a third complementary interactive teaching programs, MEMCABLE was also released. It was designed to simulate a microelectrode experiment which illustrated the passive time-dependent properties of a spherical neuron and the cable properties of a nerve and muscle fibre. By 2000 it had been purchased by about 20 universities in at least 12 different countries.   Further details can be obtained by e-mailing p.barry@unsw.edu.au. 

A full Windows version of MEMCABLE, MemCable for Windows (MemCableW) was completed in 2000 by E. Crawford in conjunction with Professor P H Barry at the University of New South Wales and has since had some minor upgrades.

The cost of the program, with Instructor's Manual, Student's Notes and departmental site license is US$395 for the first program (e.g., this  program) and US$200 each for either of the other two programs, ARTMEM and MEMPOT.   This program should also run with Apple Macintosh computers provided they have a fully compatible Windows/DOS emulation package.

A special upgrade price from the DOS to the full Windows version is also available.
