Microelectrode Arrays

The Blackrock microelectrode arrays have become the standard for multichannel, high-density neural recordings from large populations of neurons. Over the past two decades, this technology has undergone numerous refinements and repeated validations in a variety of species and tissue preparations. This effort delivered a proven and well-documented method to obtain stable, long-term neural recordings of action potentials (spikes) and field potentials in brain and peripheral-nerve tissue. Various electrode geometries and connectors allow researchers to specify configurations suited for chronic or acute recordings from small to large subjects as well as from slice and cell-culture preparations.
