Applied Systems Neuroscience Measurement

# Applied Systems Neuroscience Measurement Skill

## Overview
This skill enables measurement in the domain of systems-neuroscience (neuroscience). It represents research-level-level expertise and is designed for production use in research, industry, and educational contexts.

## Description
Use this skill when you need to perform measurement operations related to systems-neuroscience. This includes tasks such as:
- measure responses
- map connections
- record neural activity

The skill leverages electrophysiology equipment and follows best practices established in the neuroscience community.

## Trigger Conditions
This skill should be activated when:
1. The user explicitly requests measurement in the context of systems-neuroscience
2. The task requires research-level-level understanding of neuroscience principles
3. The output needs to be behavioral analyses
4. The work involves systems-neuroscience methodologies or techniques

## Key Capabilities
- **Domain Expertise**: Deep understanding of systems-neuroscience principles and methods
- **Practical Application**: Ability to apply measurement techniques to real-world problems
- **Quality Assurance**: Validation and verification of results using neuroscience standards
- **Tool Proficiency**: Effective use of electrophysiology equipment
- **Documentation**: Clear explanation of methods, assumptions, and limitations

## Usage Guidelines
