ANIMAL: CEREBUS System
The Cerebus system is a sophisticated multichannel system for recording and analyzing animal brain and peripheral-nerve electrical activity from up to 256 electrodes. The system captures, processes, and analyzes (in real time) action potentials (spikes), field potentials, and other physiological signals as well as experiment state events. The front-end is compatible with individual stiff-wire electrodes, microelectrode and microwire arrays, planar silicon probes, subdural ECoG grids, and epidural and scalp EEG electrodes. Flexible I/O options facilitate interfacing to 3rd-party equipment such as behavior, stimulus, and video systems.
Applications:
The Cerebus system is configurable for in vivo (bird, rodent, feline, monkey) and in vitro (cell culture, brain slice) preparations to assist in the study of:
- Sensory perception
- Motor control
- Learning and memory
- Attention, cognition and decision making
- Drug and toxin effects
- Epilepsy
- Parkinson’s
- Neuroprosthetics
- Brain-machine interfaces
- Neurostimulation therapies
