Overview
The headerGUI provides a user interface for entering experiment-related information and parameters, which will then be stored in the header of the data files associated with acquired experimental data. The organization and usage is largely self-explanatory.

'Other Info' Panel
Use this to enter additional fields and values. For example, to note that the cell had a regular firing pattern in response to current injections, you could enter 'firingPattern' in the Field window and 'regular spiking' in the 'Value' window. Follow Matlab conventions for valid variable names for the 'Field' variable.
'Cell Info' Panel
Cell# -- note that the values of the fields in the other windows in this panel are linked to the cell number.
Notes
See also Autonotes, which provides another, complementary mechanism for user entry of experiment-related information and data.
