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

Title: A Wirelessly-powered, Implantable, Trimodal Neural Interface System for Behavioral Experiments with Small Freely Behaving Animal

Abstract:
The objective of the proposed research is to develop a miniaturized, fully-integrated, high-channel-count, wirelessly-powered, implantable trimodal neural interface device, equipped with neural recording, electrical stimulation, and optogenetic stimulation capabilities, all integrated in the same device. The trimodal device, integrating high-density microelectrodes, individually addressable µLEDs, ultra-low-power SoC, and wireless telemetry, forms the most comprehensive interface. Moreover, this interface, which is compatible with the EnerCage-HC2 system, can cover the cortical surface to enable selective optical/electrical stimulation and recording of the large-scale cortical networks initially in small freely behaving animals.
