It's hard to take electrical measurements of what a single neuron is doing, especially while it's still alive and wired up to its fellows. To move beyond historically difficult and damaging methods of ...

Delicate features, uneven surfaces, and extreme density make it difficult to manage probe force and ensure reliability.

As new tracking technologies emerge that promise a future where nothing is ever lost, researchers are taking the idea one step further. Why spend precious minutes following sound or visual cues when ...

Trying to document how single brain cells participate in networks that govern behavior is a daunting task. Brain probes called Neuropixels, which feature high-density silicon arrays, have enabled ...

Using high-resolution Neuropixels silicon probes thinner than a human hair, scientists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science have captured hundreds of split-second electrical signals that fire when ...

The Vibrating Probe is a device which detects current densities by vibrating a probe about a micron in amplitude, using a piezo-electric bender/oscillator. The probe output is fed into a lock-in ...
