There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

This close-up image shows a cultured cortical network placed into the optoclamp. The device uses a computer to acquire and process the neuronal response to optical stimuli in real-time and then vary the light input to maintain a steady firing rate. The network can be controlled for many hours even when drugs are added that would normally have large effects on the network’s firing level. (Credit: Rob Felt, Georgia Tech)
