Science is difficult. Often, new ideas require methods and equipment that did not exist before, especially in systems neuroscience. We’re here to help other researchers that want to record neural activity to realize their new ideas faster and easier.
Read more about why we do what we do
We specialize in making custom implants for in vivo (rodent) electrophysiology, to help researchers use cutting-edge high density silicon probes, by themselves or together with other recording and stimulation tools.
The 3Drive is our microdrive for silicon probes, compatible with all major commercial brands. We also offer a set of customized holders - and a step-by-step protocol - for safe probe assembly and implantation. Additional accessories are currently under development. We also collaborate with various research groups on custom designs.
Lightweight silicon probe microdrives with a small footprint for cutting-edge multi-neuron recordings.
All the nitty-gritty tools to handle and protect your probes throughout your experiment.
Head-fixed virtual reality experiments that make you and your subjects happy. #OpenHardware
Bespoke solutions for those times when the available options limit your science.
CEO / Co-founder
Abdel is a neuroscientist and business developer. Experienced in cat electrophysiology, mouse imaging and behavior, always in visual cortex. More recently got interested in assistive wearable devices for visually-impaired individuals, and the process of disseminating innovation.
CTO / Co-founder
In his life as neuroscientist, Tim studies neuronal interactions across multiple brain areas. He acquired expertise in 3D design so that he could develop tools for electrophysiological recordings in novel memory tasks and high-density silicon probe recordings.
Consultant / Co-founder
Martha is a Max Planck Research Group Leader in the Zero Noise Lab and has worked with electrophysiology and silicon probes since 2003, in cat and most recently in behaving mice in virtual reality. She handles inquiries about surgical procedures and animal handling.
With the help of a Donders Startup Voucher, we were able to found 3Dneuro and start getting the microdrives out to other labs.
Boost4Health supported us with a Business Development Voucher for market research across Europe.
End of 2019, we received startup funding from Gelderland valoriseert to bring our product development capabilities to the next level.
From early on, the pre-incubator Mercator Launch supported 3Dneuro with advice and feedback.
As one of the industrial partners in the large Dutch 7-year project INTENSE – Innovative NeuroTEchNology for SociEty, 3Dneuro supports the development, testing and exploitation of new brain implants.
iNavigate brings together behavioral scientists, neuroscientists, computer scientists, roboticists, AI experts and world-leading companies with an interest in automation and intelligent navigation. Aims to develop a mechanistic (and actionable) definition of how the brain generates action and translate this knowledge into novel technological solutions to control robotic mobility.
