N-FORM® RECORDS ACTIVE VISION IN FREELY MOVING MARMOSETS
N-Form® 3D microelectrode arrays enable new system for freely behaving research of active vision in marmosets:
“As most data have been limited to chaired and typically head-restrained animals, the synergistic interactions of different motor actions/plans inherent to active sensing e.g. eyes, head, posture, movement, etc. - on visual perception are largely unknown. To address this considerable gap in knowledge, we developed an innovative wireless head-mounted eye tracking system that performs Chair-free Eye-Recording using Backpack mounted micROcontrollers (CEREBRO) for small mammals, such as marmoset monkeys.”
“We tested the validity and sufficiency of the system to this end by performing experiments with CEREBRO while activity of single neurons was recorded with chronically implanted multielectrode arrays (N-form, Modular Bionics) in the primary visual cortex (V1) of the marmosets.“ Electrophysiology. Neural activity was recorded with 64 channel N-Form arrays (Modular Bionics, Berkeley, CA) chronically implanted in V1
