Ion channels - Analysis and simulation embedded in a flexible environment

A collection of programs for ion-channel analysis is described. The package contains all standard routines for single-channel analysis and some routines for fluctuation analysis. Additionally, advanced algorithms for histogram building and filter correction are incorporated. The major advantage of this package is its embedding in the MATLAB(TM) environment, a general purpose program for huge numerical computations. Together with the ion-channel simulation facility this package forms the basis for optimizing analysis methods and readily incorporating new algorithms found in the literature.
