The Allen Institute of Brain Science posted a summary of recent work from its MindScope Program. The team uses New Scale Technologies’ Multi-Probe Micromanipulator System to position Neuropixels silicon neural probes at precise locations in a brain. The Neuropixels probes are used to record brain activity in an effort to understand how we perceive the visual world around us.
New software for planning, simulation and execution automatically calculates manipulator alignment based on desired probe trajectories. Fast, accurate and reliable setup of neural recording experiments improves productivity, frees more time for data collection.
