I work in the laboratoire de Neurophysiologie at Université Libre de Bruxelles. I learned about OpenWetWare from google on open hardware & science, and I've joined because I would like to share our open source project : an open-source planar lipid bilayer amplifier for hands-on learning of neuroscience
