The philosophy behind the Open Ephys GUI differs from that of existing commercial software for neuroscience. Taking inspiration from audio processing software such as Ableton Live, the GUI is structured around independent modules that can be mixed and matched to build a custom signal chain. We hope that this structure will give users and developers a tremendous amount of flexibility, without compromising functionality.

- Click the "F:" button to select a file.
- In the file browser that just opened, locate the Resources/DataFiles folder in the "Home" directory of the GUI (or the DataFiles folder if you downloaded the binary files).
- Select the file called "
data_stream_16ch_cortex," and click "Open.", or the file 'structure.oebin', which will allow you to open "data_stream_16ch_cortex," within the file reader.
Alternative, you can drag and drop a KWD file onto the File Reader module.

The signal chain should be re-loaded exactly as you left it, including the parameters within each module. If it appears that something is changed, it could mean there's a bug in the loading code. In that case, consider submitting an issue if one doesn't already exist.
We have prepared some example configuration files that show some of the basic features described here. You can find them in Resources/Configs/ , or on github.
Alternatively, you can select the "Reload on startup" option from the "File" menu, which will automatically reload the last-used configuration the next time the application is launched.
