Extracellular Recording of E ntire Neural Networks Using a Dual-Mode Microelectr

Abstract

Electrophysiological research on neural networks and their activity focuses on the recording and analysis of large data sets that include information of thousands of neurons. CMOS microelectrode arrays (MEAs) feature thousands of electrodes at a spatial resolution on the scale of single cells and are, therefore, ideal tools to support neural-network research. Moreover, they offer high spatio-temporal resolution and signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) to capture all features and subcellular- resolution
