08-Nov-2017

Key points from article :

Neuropixels probes are similar to electrophysiology probes, but...

1. thinner than a human hair with 960 electrical sensors

2. incorporate a nearly complete recording system — reducing hardware size

Will improve understanding of how large coalitions of nerve cells coordinate.

The study was published in the Nature journal.
